The United Auto Workers (UAW) have recently made significant strides in labor negotiations, exemplified by a new contract with Daimler Truck that includes a 25% wage increase over four years. This development is likely to influence other unionization efforts, including an upcoming Mercedes unionization vote in Alabama. Concurrently, the UAW vote in Tennessee has prompted a reevaluation of anti-union strategies by Republican governors in the South, who have historically attracted foreign automakers with such policies. President Joe Biden has praised the UAW and Daimler for their contract, stating, 'This agreement is a testament to the power of collective bargaining and shows that we can build a clean energy economy with strong, middle-class union jobs.'
The United Auto Workers' labor contract with Daimler Truck, which includes a 25% general wage increase over four years, is likely to energize workers ahead of the union's next target in the South - organizing a Mercedes-Benz auto assembly plant in Alabama https://t.co/RP7BJGggvc https://t.co/DG52ElHMxt
I spoke on the floor today to commend the hard working men and women of the #NC @UAW for their historic contract agreement with Daimler Trucks. I’m proud to stand with the new generation of workers as they exercise their collective strength and make their voices heard. https://t.co/wjbC517XbM
Time & time again, unions prove that when workers stand together—& stand strong—workers win. Great to spend some time with PA @Teamsters at their State Conference today. In Congress, I’m fighting to rebalance the scales for workers, for the Common Good, for our shared prosperity. https://t.co/BcImyZ5Zzj
Union labor is the backbone of our state – building a stronger Nevada each day. I'll always stand with our workers. It's time we pass the PRO Act and secure fair wages, better benefits, and safer working conditions for all Nevadans. https://t.co/26qk4vygmj

As a Member of the @EdWorkforceDems, I'm proud to recently support the House passage of the Stronger Workforce for America Act. Let us continue to stand with all workers and support increased access to good-paying job opportunities for everyone. https://t.co/01yz1furzC
I am SO proud that my staff is one of the FIRST on the Hill ever in history to be unionizing. Everyone deserves fair wages and good working conditions, including congressional staff! As the saying goes, “United We Bargain, Divided We Beg.” 💪
I was proud to join @RepAdams and the bipartisan @HBCUCaucus recently to kick off the 7th Annual HBCU STEAM Days of Action. This is a fantastic event and we need to support our HBCUs and the nearly 300,000 students that attend them each year. https://t.co/AKWBBtNuvm
Labor unions have fought for America’s middle class for decades, ensuring safe working conditions & livable wages for working families. I’ll always support labor as they fight to give their workers the protections & pay they deserve.

For years, Republican governors in the South have successfully wooed foreign automakers by touting their states’ anti-union reputations. The UAW vote in Tennessee has forced a reckoning for the GOP, @MaryEllenKlas says https://t.co/vXHeECEoRR via @opinion
