Workers at the Mercedes plant in Alabama have filed multiple federal charges with the National Labor Relations Board claiming union-busting, and they’re seeking an injunction, according to the United Auto Workers.
In a news release, the UAW said the injunction was sought “to put an end to the company’s retaliation against workers for standing up for their rights at work.”
In February, the UAW said a majority of workers at the Mercedes plant near Birmingham had signed union authorization cards.
But Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey said in a statement the state’s model for economic success is under attack by the UAW.
