Workers at a Mercedes-Benz factory in Alabama are petitioning to join the UAW, part of a broader effort by the union to organize Southern car factories and ensure fair wages in the shift towards electric vehicles.
The UAW's success with contracts at Detroit carmakers has boosted momentum, with upcoming votes at Volkswagen and efforts to establish a presence in states attracting significant automotive investments.
The UAW is striving to prevent lower wages for jobs in electric vehicle manufacturing and is facing challenges in traditionally anti-union Southern states, despite support from workers seeking representation.
