Poročila vložiti pri odboru trdijo, da Mercedes kršene delavske pravice prepovedujejo razpravo zvez med delovnim časom, kot tudi grozi prenehanje zaposlenih, ki je zbrala za Unijo.

To je najnovejši razvoj v teku kampanje za unionize obratu, ki gradi M, R in razreda GL v bližini letališča Tuscaloosa. Pro-union zaposleni citirati mirovanja plač in zmanjša koristi, kot del svoje razlog za mnenje, unionization. V zgibanki UAW organizacijskega odbora zatrjuje, da od leta 2007, Mercedes Prerezal zdravstvenih načrtov za upokojence. Menda, zaposleni najel po letu 2009 ne bodo upravičeni za zdravje kakršno koli upokojenec. Zaposleni so tudi izrazili zaskrbljenost nad povečano uporabo začasnih delavcev v tovarni. Še vedno drugi opozarjajo na splošen upad razmerje med dela in upravljanja, s pritožbami glede Nedosledna uporaba politike podjetja. Drugi zavrne potrebo po uniji, opozarja, da visoko plačanih delovnih mest so redki v območju pred Mercedes prispeli. Bojijo se, da lahko poškoduje UAW Mercedes zadnjih vožnjo uspeh v ZDA. To vključuje širitev obrata za izgradnjo novega C-razreda letos.
Čeprav še ni uspelo v organizacijo glavne rastlinske Mercedes, UAW je merilo uspeha z dobavitelji Mercedes. Deli ustvarjalcev, Faurecia, Inteva, ZF in Johnson kontrolniki v bližini območij so bili organizirani za več let. Je možno, da lahko UAW premikanje z vzvodom te uspeh z delavci plant v Vance.

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.
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.
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.
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.
