A Birmingham manufacturing facility voted this month against union representation during a two-day election.

The vote took place at the Sherwin-Williams Packaging Coatings Group factory at 90 Carlson Rd., according to the National Labor Relations Board.

The election results, which were certified May 15, dealt with representation by the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers. Employees voted 36-35 against union representation, according to the NLRB website.

The union represents nearly 50,000 workers in heavy industry, shipbuilding, manufacturing, railroads, mining and other industries.
