Mercedes-Benz workers in Alabama vote against UAW union membership

Workers at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Alabama have voted against union representation by the United Auto Workers (UAW), with 56% opposing in a high turnout vote. This decision comes despite the UAW's recent success at a Volkswagen plant in Tennessee, highlighting a setback in their broader efforts to unionize non-union automakers in the U.S. The election was conducted under the oversight of the National Labor Relations Board, and the results are pending certification, barring any objections from the parties involved.
