Former Alabama coach Nick Saban is addressing workers at Mercedes-Benz’s Vance plant on Thursday, according to reports.
Labor journalist Luis Feliz Leon and the Alabama Political Reporter posted what appears to be a flyer notifying employees about the mandatory event.
In a statement, Mercedes-Benz said Saban was invited to speak to employees after he announced his retirement back in January.
“Mercedes-Benz U.S. International (MBUSI) has a long-standing relationship with Nick Saban and he has visited MBUSI numerous times throughout his time as Head Coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide to offer his insights on leadership and team performance,” the company’s statement reads. “Shortly after his retirement announcement in January, we invited him again to speak to our Team Members. We are honoring his retirement and incredible success as the Football Coach for the University of Alabama, while thanking him for his motivational words over the years and for his impact on the community.”
