Mercedes union vote fails: Workers reject UAW plans for Alabama automaker

[RandySF]

Workers at Mercedes-Benz’s automotive plants east of Tuscaloosa have voted against being represented by the United Auto Workers union.

The workers voted 2,045 to 2,642 against union representation, according to the National Labor Relation Board.

There were 51 challenged ballots that will not be counted, because they will not change the outcome of the election, the NRLB stated. There were five void ballots. The total number of eligible voters was 5,075.

Each side has five business days to file objections to the election, alleging that there was interference in the election.

3. WTF?

Just goes to show that low education voters/workers are easier to intimidate and control.
