TL;DR: Mercedes-Benz took many actions to ensure the failure of a union election, including promising increased wages if the vote failed. The vote did fail, and now Mercedes-Benz refuses to honor its end because the UAW filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board claiming Mercedes-Benz engaged in illegal anti-union activity to make the vote fail. Not sure if this is normal in union-busting game, but seems like a dirtbag move.
