The United Auto Workers (UAW) announced a successful unionization vote at a Ford joint-venture plant in Kentucky, despite the contention over 41 ballots they deem illegitimate.

The victory could bolster UAW's presence in the U.S. South, securing membership at a crucial electric vehicle production facility.

Although UAW President Shawn Fain has faced challenges in expanding the union's influence in the EV sector previously, this win marks a potential breakthrough for the organization in a rapidly electrifying industry.
