Thousands of workers at a big Mercedes-Benz factory near Tuscaloosa, Alabama, will vote next month on whether they want to be represented by the United Auto Workers union.
DETROIT —
The organizing effort comes after the UAW won big pay raises after striking Detroit's three automakers last fall. In response to the workers’ petition, Mercedes-Benz U.S. International stated that it “fully respects our Team Members’ choice whether to unionize.” The company added that it plans to ensure all workers have a chance to cast their own secret-ballot vote and have access to “the information necessary to make an informed choice” during the election process.
