Mercedes wants us to ask questions. Here are some we hope will be answered in today’s meeting.
“Why is Mercedes so concerned about what comes out of our paychecks, and why is it only union dues they care about? If you really cared about our take home pay, what about lowering our insurance premiums and deductibles instead?”

“Mercedes profits increased by 200% in the past few years, and Mercedes paid out $1.9 billion in stock dividends just last year (about $316,000 per employee in Alabama). Why are you paying shareholders rather than the American workers who made that money for you?”

“Why would supervisors try to mislead us that contract negotiations ‘start from scratch’ or ‘start from zero’?”

“We hope that Mercedes answers these questions, but we know that Mercedes’ anti-union campaign isn’t designed to keep us informed. It’s designed to keep us afraid. Mercedes workers are too smart for that. If you agree, then join the more than 600 of your co-workers who signed the public vote yes pledge!”
