Responding to the loss at a Mercedes plant in Alabama, UAW president Shawn Fain says:

'I'm not scared at all ... We're going to keep doing what we do and I think we're going to keep winning. This is a setback ... But no, I think we're gonna be fine.'

The UAW has lost the union election at Mercedes' Alabama plant, 2,045 to 2,642.

It's a tough loss for the union coming off the Chattanooga VW victory, but these campaigns often take a few tries before succeeding.
