Is one of the biggest automakers in the world using intimidation to threaten employees in the U.S.? If you ask the workers at the plant in Canton, Mississippi, the answer is yes! The claims revolve around voting to unionize at the plant. According to workers there, the company constantly tells them negative things surrounding a vote to unionize. Seems they have many people on their side as well. Read more after the jump.
Nissan countered by saying the UAW, United auto workers union is somewhat responsible for some of these remarks and accusations. They say anytime a union election was held at other Nissan plants the vote was overwhelmingly against the union. Dave Rueter, VP of communications for Nissan told Patrick George of Jalopnik that “No intimidation of any kind will be tolerated from anyone in our company.” Employees at the plant however do not seem to buy it. They claim to want fair wages and more security within the job, which is something every decent hard working American wants. So far however a vote on unions at the Canton plant has still not been held and employees say the intimidation continues. Obviously there could be some truth to their side, or both sides, we shall see how it develops.
