Mercedes Labor Official Says It Is Time To Unionize Alabama Plant

The head labor official on Daimler AG's supervisory board says he considers it "unacceptable" that the German automaker's Mercedes plant in Alabama stands alone among the company's factories around the world without union representation for its workers.

Michael Brecht, who took over as head of Daimler's works councils and as deputy chairman of the board in April, said in a phone interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday that he supports the United Auto Workers' efforts to gain recognition at the plant located near Tuscaloosa.

Once again we have the GERMAN union ILLEGALLY trying to use coercion on AMERICAN workers. The Germans are screwed in the head for wanting to be THAT cozy with the unions. Unions are legalized organized crime that funnel money to the Democrats and they do not care one iota about the workers.
