The @UAW has negotiated a tentative agreement at Daimler Truck in North Carolina. The proposed contract includes a 25% raise, profit sharing, and cost-of-living adjustments for 7,300 workers. This win comes amid the #union's campaign to organize the South https://t.co/BXbI895AbT
Each year, on Workers Memorial Day, we remember workers killed on the job in a work-related incident or who died from an occupational illness and renew our commitment to working together to fight for strong safety and health protections.

As @UAW's May NLRB election at the Mercedes Alabama plant approaches, the union is using Germany's #DueDilligence law to charge the automaker with #HumanRightsViolations. This is the first such use of the law, showing a strategy of exerting global pressure against union busters.
🚨 The UAW filed charges today against Mercedes-Benz Group AG for violating Germany’s new law on global supply chain practices. Mercedes-Benz’s aggressive anti-union campaign against U.S. autoworkers in Alabama is a clear human rights violation under the German Act on Corporate Due Diligence Obligations in Supply Chains.
