Workers at Mercedes-Benz in Alabama were forced to attend 20-minute anti-union meetings with the company’s top management today.
Recordings obtained by Labor Notes show top management dangled carrots and put on a contrite-boss act, promising to do better.
Workers filed with the National Labor Relations Board on April 5 for the first-ever election to unionize the 5,200 people who work at the plant.
