I’ve been covering the auto industry since 1989, first as CNN Detroit Bureau Chief, then as the National Auto Writer for the Associated Press, General Motors beat writer at the Detroit News and video reporter at Automotive News.

Workers at two Mercedes-Benz plants in Alabama voted against joining the United Autoworkers Union, denying the UAW a bid to duplicate its historic victory last month at a Volkswagen plant in Tennessee.

“Parties have five business days to file objections to the election . If no objections are filed, the election result will be certified, and the union will have to wait one year to file for a union election, “ an NLRB statement said. UAW President Shawn Fain has made it a priority to attempt to organize non-union workers at foreign-owned auto plants in the South but the union’s organizing efforts faced strong opposition in a state that takes pride in its anti-union culture.
