Workers at a Mercedes-Benz factory in Vance, Alabama, are set to vote on whether to join the United Auto Workers (UAW) from May 13 to May 17, as announced by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). The ballot count is scheduled for May 17. This vote follows a recent UAW victory at a Volkswagen factory and is part of a broader UAW drive to unionize non-union auto workers at foreign automakers' plants in the US. The outcome is particularly significant as the UAW continues to expand its influence after securing record contracts with major auto manufacturers like General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis following a strike in 2023.
