Two accused teenagers to remain in custody for at least two more weeks | SaltWire #newsupdate #newsDETROIT - The United Auto Workers' new labor contract with truck and bus maker Daimler Truck is likely to energize workers ahead of the union's next target in the U.S. South - organizing a Mercedes-Benz auto assembly plant in Alabama.
More importantly, it shows the 5,200 eligible workers at Mercedes-Benz's plant in the Tuscaloosa area what is possible when they vote on whether to join the union, union officials and labor professors said. "We set an example for the entire South. I hope Mercedes in Tuscaloosa was paying attention to what we're doing," said Corey Hill, president of UAW Local 3520, which represents Daimler Truck workers in Cleveland, North Carolina.
The terms of the Daimler Truck deal largely match those reached last fall with the Detroit Three automakers: General Motors, Ford and Chrysler parent Stellantis. The Mercedes vote is expected to be a tougher battle than at VW, which on April 19 became the first auto plant in the U.S. South to unionize via an election since the 1940s.The Daimler agreement marks another UAW victory in the historically anti-union South, Masters said, and is likely to catch the attention of Mercedes workers. Daimler is in Mercedes' backyard, with four factories in North Carolina, as well as parts warehouses in Georgia and Tennessee.
