Flint Rep. Dan Kildee and two other Democratic lawmakers sent a letter to General Motors Co. CEO Mary Barra Tuesday raising concerns about “disturbing reports of gross labor rights violations” at one of the automaker’s plants in Mexico.
The union at the GM plant in Silao, Mexico, has been accused of vote tampering in a union election in violation of new local labor laws and the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). The Mexican labor department said last month that the existing union had broken open ballot boxes and destroyed ballots voting against them.
