Andi Rice | Bloomberg | Getty ImagesMercedes-Benz workers in Alabama have voted against union representation by the United Auto Workers, the National Labor Relations Board said Friday.
Union organizing failed with 56% of the vote, or 2,642 workers, casting ballots against the UAW, according to the NLRB, which oversaw the election.
More than 90% of the 5,075 eligible Mercedes-Benz workers voted in the election, according to the results.
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 for a similar bargaining unit.
