DETROIT – The United Auto Employees union is difficult the outcomes of final week’s organizing vote of Mercedes-Benz employees in Alabama — through which employees voted in opposition to union illustration — and is asking federal officers to order a brand new election.
The union alleges the German automaker fired 4 pro-union employees, pressured employees to attend anti-union conferences and interfered with employees’ capability to advocate for the union, amongst a dozen or so different claims.
The Nationwide Labor Relations Board confirmed Friday afternoon that its Atlanta-based workplace acquired the UAW’s objections to the election.
Union organizing failed on the Alabama plant with 56% of the vote, or 2,642 employees, casting ballots in opposition to the UAW, based on the NLRB, which oversaw the election. Greater than 90% of the 5,075 eligible Mercedes-Benz employees voted within the election.
