The United Auto Workers (UAW) has reported that over 30% of the nearly 4,000 workers at Hyundai Motor's Alabama plant have signed union cards, indicating a significant interest in union representation. This development is part of a broader UAW effort to organize workers at nonunion auto plants in the U.S., particularly those owned by foreign automakers in the South, known for its anti-union laws and lower labor costs.

The union's move comes on the heels of a contract dispute with the Big Three automakers and is seen as part of a new wave of organizing in nonunion shops.
