The UAW announced that workers at the Volkswagen assembly plant in Tennessee will hold a vote on unionization after UAW auto workers at the Big Three secured a record contract.
The United Auto Workers union announced Monday that workers at Volkswagen's assembly plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, will hold a unionization vote after the UAW secured historic contracts for workers at Detroit's Big Three automakers last year. The UAW said a supermajority of eligible Volkswagen workers signed union cards to call for the election at the Chattanooga plant. The facility is Volkswagen's only assembly plant in the U.S.
Previous votes to organize Nissan auto plants in Mississippi and Tennessee also failed by wide margins. Volkswagen told FOX Business in a statement, "We respect our workers' right to a democratic process and to determine who should represent their interests. We will fully support an NLRB vote so every team member has a chance to vote in privacy in this important decision." "The election timeline will be determined by the NLRB.
