Thread: НСТО правесці слуханні па меркаваным работнікам запалохванне на "Мэрсэдэс-Бэнц" у Алабаме завод

У Нацыянальны савет па працоўных адносінах правядзе слуханні па абмеркаванні сцвярджэнні, якія тычацца кіравання паводзінамі ў Мэрсэдэс-Мэрсэдэсаў Vance, Alabama plant. The reports filed with the Board allege that Mercedes violated workers rights by forbidding discussion of unions during working hours, as well as threatening termination of employees that solicited for the union.
The UAW accuses Mercedes of suppressing efforts by employees to organize, in violation of the National Labor Relations Act. Mercedes claims it has pursued a policy of neutrality regarding the unionization of its workforce. The NLRB dismissed one complaint filed against the company in August of last year. But two other complaints filed in the fall were accepted by the NLRB as possible violations of labor law. The hearing, to be conducted on April 7, will allow both sides to present their case before a judge. The recommendation of that judge will influence the final ruling by the NLRB. A ruling against the complaint would strengthen the position of Mercedes and the unions political opponents, but if the NLRB finds a violation of the law, it could be a major coup for the UAW.
Гэта найноўшая распрацоўка ў працяглай кампаніі, каб аб'яднаць завод, які будуе м, р, і GL-класа побач з Тускалуса. Прафесійны саюз работнікаў спаслацца стагнуючай заработнай платы і скарачэнне льгот у рамках іх прычыны для разгляду прафсаюзамі. Гэтая ўлётка, выдадзены арганізацыйным камітэтам УАЗа сцвярджае, што з 2007 года, Мэрсэдэс секануў планы аховы здароўя для пенсіянераў. Нібыта, работнікі, нанятыя пасля 2009 года не будуць мець права на любы адстаўнік-небудзь перавагі для здароўя. Супрацоўнікі таксама выказалі занепакоенасць з нагоды пашырэння выкарыстання часовых работнікаў на заводзе. Трэція паказваюць на агульны спад у адносінах паміж працай і кіраваннем, з скаргамі на няправільнае прымяненне палітыкі кампаніі. Іншыя не прымаюць неабходнасць для Саюза, паказваючы на тое, што высокааплатныя працоўныя месцы былі недастатковыя ў гэтым раёне да Мерседэса прыехаў. Яны асцерагаюцца, што UAW можа пашкодзіць Мэрсэдэс нядаўні поспех у ЗША. Гэта ўключае ў сябе пашырэнне завода пабудаваць новы C-клас ўжо ў гэтым годзе.
Although it has not yet succeeded in organizing the main Mercedes plant, the UAW has had a measure of success with Mercedes suppliers. The parts makers Faurecia, Inteva, ZF, and Johnson Controls in nearby areas have been organized for several years. Its possible that the UAW may be able to leverage this success with plant workers in Vance. Even so, the unionization of a major transplant automaker in a right-to-work state remains a daunting task.

The National Labor Relations Board will conduct a hearing to discuss allegations regarding management conduct at Mercedes-Benzs Vance, Alabama plant. The reports filed with the Board allege that Mercedes violated workers rights by forbidding discussion of unions during working hours, as well as threatening termination of employees that solicited for the union.

This is the latest development in an ongoing campaign to unionize the plant, which builds the M, R, and GL Class near Tuscaloosa. Pro-union employees cite stagnating wages and reduced benefits as part of their reason for considering unionization. This leaflet issued by the UAW organizing committee alleges that since 2007, Mercedes has slashed healthcare plans for retirees. Supposedly, employees hired after 2009 will not be eligible for any retiree health benefits whatsoever. Employees have also voiced concern over the increased use of temporary workers at the plant. Still others point to a general decline in the relationship between labor and management, with complaints about inconsistent application of company policy. Others dismiss the need for a union, pointing out that high-paying jobs were scarce in the area before Mercedes arrived. They fear that the UAW may damage Mercedes recent run of success in the US. This includes an expansion of the plant to build the new C-Class later this year.
