Mercedes workers at Alabama plant turn down UAW

[Harley Lover]

Where are all the headlines about this? We certainly got force fed the news when the VW plant voted for UAW representation. The dearth of coverage of this UAW/Shawn Fain failure might lead one to conclude that the 'media' have a particular leaning about this topic.

 

Quote

Workers at a Mercedes-Benz assembly plant in Alabama voted against joining the UAW, a high-profile defeat for the union that, at least temporarily, halts the momentum of a $40 million organizing drive across the South.

According to the National Labor Relations Board, 56 percent of the 4,687 votes cast in the five-day election that ended Friday were against joining the union. The NLRB must still certify the results.

UAW President Shawn Fain said the loss “stings”.

that’s funny, because I didn’t have to look for the headline in any of my feeds when it was pro union.  This is the first time I’ve seen this one.
