UAW Seeks New Election After Mercedes-Benz Union Vote Defeat in Alabama

The United Auto Workers (UAW) is challenging the results of a recent union vote at a Mercedes-Benz plant in Alabama, where workers voted against union representation. The UAW alleges that Mercedes-Benz engaged in unfair labor practices, including firing pro-union workers and forcing anti-union meetings, and is asking the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to order a new election. The NLRB will review the objections and may hold a hearing to determine if a new election is warranted.

"UAW's Southern Strategy: Volkswagen Union Vote Puts Power to the Test"

Volkswagen workers in Chattanooga, Tennessee, are set to vote on whether to organize with the United Auto Workers, marking a crucial test of the union's influence outside of the Detroit automakers. A win would be the UAW's first major victory at a non-Detroit automaker, while a loss would be a setback for the union and its president, Shawn Fain. The vote, overseen by the National Labor Relations Board, comes after the UAW's recent successes with the Detroit automakers and amid a more favorable environment for union organizing at Volkswagen.

"UAW Gains Ground in Volkswagen Union Vote in the South"

The United Auto Workers is close to potentially unionizing a Volkswagen AG factory in the US, which would make it the only foreign commercial carmaker to be unionized in the country. This move would also mark the first vehicle plant to join the UAW since last fall's strike, giving the union a significant presence in the South and potentially paving the way for further growth across multiple automakers.

UAW Workers Reject Tentative Contracts at GM Plants

UAW workers at GM's Lansing Delta Assembly Plant have voted against ratifying the current contract offer, with 61% against and 39% for the tentative agreement. The contract includes wage increases, benefits, and shortened progression to top wage. While the offer failed in Lansing, it may still pass nationwide as the union's contract requires majority approval from UAW workers across the country.

UAW Workers at GM's Flint Plant Reject Landmark Labor Deal

United Auto Workers (UAW) union members at General Motors' Flint assembly plant in Michigan have narrowly voted against a proposed contract with the automaker, raising uncertainty about the deal's approval. The UAW Local 598 reported that 51.8% of votes cast were against the agreement. The rejection could significantly raise costs for GM. Workers at other GM plants are yet to vote on the agreement, which includes a 25% increase in base wage through April 2028. The UAW's new agreement covers 46,000 workers at GM and has prompted non-unionized automakers to offer pay hikes.
