VANCE, Alabama - The outcome of a vote on Friday by workers at a Mercedes-Benz factory in Alabama will be a key referendum on whether the United Auto Workers can maintain momentum in the historically anti-union South.
Results of the election being overseen by the U.S. National Labor Relations Board are expected to be finalized around 1 p.m. EDT on Friday. More than 5,000 eligible workers from an SUV assembly plant as well as Mercedes’ nearby electric-vehicle battery plant began casting ballots on Monday. "I was hoping for a bigger win, but I'll take a close win," she said on Wednesday. "I think we’ve still got it."
The Mercedes and Volkswagen U.S. factories were the first two to reach a supermajority of workers signing cards supporting the union, a threshold at which the group calls for an election. The UAW has not yet said any other plants have reached that level. Biden's opponent in the November election - former president Donald Trump - has accused the UAW of allowing the manufacturing of EVs to steal American jobs."We're moving as fast as we can,” Fain said last month.Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty ImagesMarjorie Taylor Greene wasted no time in suggesting that the shooting of Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico Wednesday could be linked to his position on COVID vaccines.
