The United Auto Workers (UAW) union is requesting a new unionization vote at Mercedes' Alabama plant after losing a recent vote, citing unfair labor practices by the company including firing pro-union employees and holding anti-union captive-audience meetings. Mercedes responded by expressing hope that the UAW would respect the workers' decision, while the NLRB will review the union's objection and may call for a hearing. The UAW's defeat at the Alabama plant was a setback following a recent victory at a Volkswagen plant in Tennessee, with the Mercedes campaign being described as more contentious due to the company's active anti-union efforts.
