Thousands of Alabama Mercedes-Benz workers will vote in May to determine if they want United Auto Workers (UAW) union representation.
The election is set for May 13-17 and will be held in person in Vance, Ala. The National Labor Relations Board, which will administer the vote, will count the ballots on May 17.
The vote comes as around 4,300 workers at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, Tenn., are voting this week on union representation, the results of which are expected Friday.
The development is part of UAW’s push to unionize workers at auto manufacturing factories in Southern states.

I thought she died.
This is why auto makers set up manufacturing plants in the South and in Mexico. No Unions.
Double whammy, unionized workers building E cars might as well start looking for their next job.
BOEING!...........................
But there are plenty of (a type of) people in the south that want to be protected from firing because they dont work like the company expects them to work. They be tik toking, gossiping, having social hour, or scrolling facebag. (grammar intentional). Amazon is still fighting with UCFW about the Bessemer distribution point.
To be fair, some of these companies do have unreal expectations, and its why I tell recruiters I’m not interested and they can stuff their point system attendance and marathon work weeks (months).
idiots
dont they realize the only reason they built the plant there was because there were no unions?
good way to drive them away. Complete morons.
Back when Kalifornia was California and Reagan Country, there were 10-15 auto plants in California. One by one, they saw the writing on the wall. Now, only Tesla builds vehicles in Kalifornia. During the Plandemic, Tesla suggested that they would have to move if they were not allowed to continue production.
And, if the votes fail to gather the number required, the UAW will claim intimidation. Same as ever.
They have this vote every four or five years and it always gets voted down. What makes the UAW think it will pass this time?
Mexico does have an auto workers union - but its demands are still minimal (nearly invisible, compared with UAW).
