Workers at Mercedes Benz Group AG's Alabama factory petitioned for a UAW union election, aiming to file with the NLRB. The UAW claims over 5,000 workers support joining, with a vote expected by early May. Mercedes denies violating Germany's global supply chain law. The UAW's efforts extend to other non-union automakers like Hyundai, Toyota, Tesla, and Rivian, with UAW President Shawn Fain seeking to expand union representation. President Biden supports UAW's efforts. Volkswagen workers in Tennessee also seek a UAW vote.

Mercedes-Benz Group AG (MBGYY) faces liability after a German court ruled against it in a diesel emissions case, holding the company responsible for using emissions-cheating devices in certain diesel cars. The Stuttgart Appeals Court's decision allows owners of affected Mercedes GLC and GLK models to pursue individual claims for compensation. Mercedes-Benz intends to appeal the decision. This case is similar to a previous lawsuit against Volkswagen AG (VWAGY), which settled for €830 million over a diesel emission scandal.

Major automakers, including General Motors (GM), Toyota (TM), Volkswagen (VWAGY), Ford (F), Mercedes-Benz (MBGYY), BMW (BMWYY), Hyundai (HYMTF), and Kia, along with air bag manufacturers, are opposing the NHTSA's recommendation to recall 52 million air bag inflators over rupture concerns. The recall, if enforced, would be the second-largest in U.S. automotive history. Automakers argue the risks are minimal, with ARC estimating less than one rupture in the next 33 years. GM and Stellantis (STLA) have called NHTSA's actions arbitrary and contrary to law. GM shares dropped slightly in premarket trading.

The United Auto Workers (UAW) union has launched a campaign to unionize workers at 13 non-union automakers in the U.S., targeting nearly 150,000 workers from companies like BMW, Honda, Hyundai, Lucid, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Rivian, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo. UAW President Shawn Fain, after securing contracts with GM, Ford, and Stellantis, is looking to expand the union's reach beyond the 'Big Three' Detroit automakers by 2028. The UAW's membership has declined over the years, but recent successes have led to wage increases at non-union companies, known as the 'UAW bump.' Past efforts to unionize at foreign-based automaker plants and Tesla's Fremont plant have seen limited success.
