The Center for Union Facts slammed United Auto Workers (UAW) president Shawn Fain as "America's latest election denier" in a full-page ad in the New York Times on Thursday.
The UAW asked the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) last week for a new union vote at two Mercedes-Benz factories in Alabama after coming up short in a recent vote.
In an NLRB private election that ended two weeks ago, 56% of workers voted against joining the union. The final tally showed 2,045 workers voting for joining and 2,642 voting against joining UAW.
The Center for Union Facts is a national nonprofit organization that "fights for transparency and accountability in America's labor movement," according to the group's website.
"In a secret ballot election earlier this month, workers at the Alabama Mercedes plant voted 56% against UAW representation. Now, UAW President Shawn Fain wants to toss out the election results, asking the Biden NLRB to overrule the workers' decision and force them to vote again. Fain should stop trying to undermine workplace democracy," the ad published on Thursday stated.
