The United Auto Workers (UAW) is intensifying its unionization efforts, targeting non-union automakers and their 150,000 workers. A significant development in this push is the upcoming vote at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, Tennessee, assembly plant from April 17-19, where workers will decide on joining the UAW. Additionally, Mercedes Benz factory workers in Alabama are preparing to file a petition with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to hold a union vote as soon as this week. This move, expected to potentially add 6,000 workers to the UAW's membership, comes as UAW membership fell by 3.3% in 2023 to 370,000. The UAW has also filed charges in a German court against Mercedes-Benz for alleged illegal union-busting activities at its Alabama factory, with potential fines amounting to billions under German law.
If a union election is successful at the plant, it could add 6,000 workers to UAW membership and formally unionize Mercedes’ only U.S.-based factory. https://t.co/qSqXyGfryK
