Daimler AG's deputy chairman and head of the company's works council Michael Brecht plans to meet with the United Auto Workers union about "improving worker representation" at the company's assembly plant in Vance, Ala., Reuters reports.
The UAW describes Brecht as a close ally. The union said in June it was working on a plan to organize hourly workers at the Vance factory.
The union also is eager to reverse a narrow defeat in February in its bid to represent workers at Volkswagen AG's assembly plant in Chattanooga, Tenn.
The union has since set up a local near the VW plant anyway and says it has signed up close to a majority of the 1,750 hourly workers there as members. Once it does so, VW could recognize the UAW as the exclusive bargaining agent for Chattanooga's entire workforce.
