UAW organization drive gains momentum in Alabama
The United Auto Workers' unionization drive at plants across the US continued to gain momentum after 30 percent of workers in Alabama signed authorization cards at a Mercedes-Benz plant. The result comes just a month after 30 percent of workers signed cards at a Volkswagen plant in Tennessee. The UAW will continue its efforts at both plants in an attempt to force a vote for recognition if a high enough percentage of workers sign the authorization cards.
