73% of workers voted to unionize in April 2024.
It was a rare win for the union in the South, a part of the country with lots of foreign car factories and few unions.
The UAW made an aggressive push to unionize other southern plants, but those campaigns have fizzled in the nearly two years it's taken to negotiate this contract.
Voting closes Thursday, and the UAW is hoping a ratified contract will be a step toward unionizing more southern auto workers.

In the 50 largest metros, the median asking rent in January was a bit under $1,700, down 1.5% from a year earlier.
A big reason for dropping rents and vacancies are new apartments being built, especially in the Sunbelt.
But the National Association of Realtors is expecting apartment construction to slow down this year, in part because of those vacancies.
