Hyundai workers in Alabama are joining together to form the company’s first U.S. union. They’re some of the lowest-paid autoworkers, making nearly $10/hr less than union workers. Now, more than 1,000 have signed union cards with UAW. That’s over 30% of their plant.

The Latest
Mercedes-Benz workers in Alabama voted 56% – 44% not to unionize. The UAW is asking the National Labor Relations Board to overturn the election, alleging that illegal union busting by the company prevented a fair vote.
Leaked videos show Mercedes-Benz’s CEO and management flagrantly union-busting at their plant in Alabama.

Background
The United Auto Workers (UAW) has embarked on an unprecedented campaign to organize roughly 150,000 workers at 13 non-union automakers. Included in the campaign are the German Three of Volkswagen, Mercedes, and BMW; the Japanese & Korean Six of Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, Subaru, and Mazda; and American electric vehicle manufacturers Tesla, Rivian, and Lucid.
Organizing these plants, many of which are in anti-union states in the South, will be no small task. The UAW suffered high-profile losses in 2014 and 2019 at Volkswagen in Tennessee and in 2017 at Nissan in Mississippi, continuing the long history of organized labor’s struggle to break through in southern states.
But the tide could be shifting. Following major gains for UAW workers at GM, Stellantis, and Ford, non-union autoworkers are demanding more from companies that are raking in record profits.
Scroll down to see the full list of non-union auto factories that the UAW is working to organize.
