UAW announces union campaign at Mercedes-Benz plant in Alabama | US unions | The Guardian
Over 30% of workers at the Mercedes-Benz plant outside of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, have signed union authorization cards, the United Auto Workers (UAW) announced on Tuesday.
The news is another significant boost to the UAW’s plans to unionize non-union auto workers throughout the US after securing historic contracts for workers at the big three US automakers last year.
Calling all car fact hoarders. I have read that #Porsche and other euro luxury manufacturers use higher quality galvanized steel. This is part of the reasons old #Mercedes and #Volvos are so popular in New England.

Today, for #FensterFreitag, we’re looking at the half-louvred rear side windows on the C107 Mercedes SLC from the early 1970s. The C107 was an extended-wheelbase fixed-roof coupé version of the R107 ‘Bobby Ewing’ SL convertible. The louvres, encased between two panes of glass, appear to have been intended to avoid a bland ‘two-door sedan’ look while avoiding overly-wide rear pillars. A lot of Mercedes enthusiasts don’t like these, but I’m a fan. #Mercedes#WeirdCarMastodon#davidsdailycar
