Despite historical opposition, unions are making inroads in the Southern US. The UAW strike in Detroit has expanded to include 7,000 employees at the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant, impacting Stellantis's largest plant. While Senator Webber calls for a resolution, Rep. Carl opposes UAW expansion in Alabama. Southern autoworkers are showing support for unionization efforts, surprising Republican governors. A unionization vote is set for a Mercedes plant in Alabama, with over half the workers indicating their desire for union representation. The decline of unions in the South can be traced back to racial divisions and opposition from white workers and elites, but recent economic shifts have created opportunities for unions. The outcome of the upcoming unionization vote at the Mercedes plant will provide insight into the future of unions in the South. #Unions #UAW #SouthernUS #RightToWork #WorkersRights...
