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.
