UAW Demands New Vote, Cites Intimidation at Mercedes-Benz Alabama Plants
The United Auto Workers (UAW) has filed an objection with the National Labor Relations Board, accusing Mercedes of intimidating and coercing workers to vote against unionizing at two Alabama factories. The UAW claims Mercedes engaged in unlawful practices, including firing pro-union employees and holding anti-union meetings. Mercedes denies the allegations, stating that the majority of workers voted against union representation. The NLRB will review the objections and may order a new election if misconduct is confirmed.
