United Auto Workers union sets its sights on Alabama's Mercedes-Benz plant
>>>
VANCE, Alabama -- The United Auto Workers union is campaigning to organize at Alabama's Mercedes-Benz plant, one of several southern U.S. auto factories the group has in its sights.
Union materials are being distributed to employees of the German automaker, which launched Alabama's auto industry.
The effort is being supported by the German union IG Metall. Its representatives have been in Alabama helping build support for the UAW, and organizers have moved into a bigger office near Mercedes' Tuscaloosa County plant, according to a newsletter outlining the activities.

(12,518 posts)unions. Of course it's our fault too. Instead of buying good American made cars that are union made the majority of Americans seem to think that Japanese, non union made, cars and trucks are better. All they do is keep the wages down just like the low wage Walmart...the king of low-wage labor in this country.
