DETROIT – The United Auto Employees union is difficult the outcomes of final week’s organizing vote by Mercedes-Benz staff in Alabama – when staff voted in opposition to union illustration – and asking federal officers to order a brand new election.
The union accused the German automaker of firing 4 pro-union staff, forcing staff to attend anti-union conferences and interfering with staff’ capacity to defend the union, amongst greater than a dozen different fees.
The Nationwide Labor Relations Board confirmed Friday afternoon that its Atlanta workplace acquired objections to the election from the United Auto Employees union.
Union organizing on the Alabama plant failed, with 56 % of the vote, or 2,642 staff, voting in opposition to the UAW, based on the NLRB, which oversees the election. Greater than 90 % of the 5,075 eligible Mercedes-Benz staff participated within the election.
