肯塔基州一家6B电池厂的工人投票加入UAW, Workers at a $6B Kentucky battery plant vote to join the UAW, a significant move for labor in the South.

肯塔基州BlueOval SK电池厂的工人正在投票决定加入联合汽车工人工会(UAW)。 Workers at the BlueOval SK battery plant in Kentucky are voting on joining the United Auto Workers (UAW) union. Ford和SK On公司这家60亿美元的合资企业为Ford F-150 Lightning小卡车和E-Transit 运货车等电动车辆生产电池。 This $6 billion joint venture between Ford and SK On produces batteries for electric vehicles like the Ford F-150 Lightning pickup and E-Transit cargo van. 工会的胜利将扩大UAW在南方的存在,在南方,有组织劳工历来苦苦挣扎。 A union victory would expand the UAW's presence in the South, where organized labor has traditionally struggled. 结果可能要到周三晚些时候才能知道，但对于支持工会的肯塔基州州长安迪·贝希尔来说很重要。 The outcome, which may not be known until late Wednesday, is important for Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, who supports unionization.
