The United Auto Workers (UAW) have claimed a narrow victory in a unionization vote at the BlueOval SK battery plant in Kentucky, a joint venture partly owned by Ford Motor. The initial tally showed 526 votes in favor of union representation against 515 opposing it. However, Ford is contesting 41 ballots, which the UAW believes to be illegitimate and has urged the company to drop the challenge. The outcome of these disputed ballots could potentially alter the final result. The vote is seen as a pivotal decision for workers at a facility producing batteries for electric vehicles, continuing a recent streak of union victories in the sector.
