The UAW has announced that it submitted a union election petition to the NLRB on behalf of workers at a battery manufacturing plant in Ohio. The companies that own the plant, GM and LG Energy, allegedly engaged in discussion with an unofficial union without going through the proper channels with the NLRB. As a result, this has delayed the unionization process, and the UAW seeks to formally represent these workers, a majority of whom signed authorization cards.
