In March 2024, workers at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Vance, Alabama filed charges with the
National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), accusing the company of illegally disciplining workers at the plant in retaliation for organizing with the
United Auto Workers (UAW) labor union. In May 2024, following the loss of a unionization vote at the plant, the UAW filed a formal complaint with the NLRB seeking a new election due to what it called "wanton lawlessness" on the part of Mercedes-Benz in the run up to the election, with the UAW accusing the company of holding anti-union
captive audience meetings, targeting pro-union workers for drug tests, and illegally terminating UAW supporters. == See also ==
