"Volkswagen Chattanooga Workers Petition for UAW Union Vote"

Workers at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, Tennessee factory have filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board to hold a unionization vote, marking a significant step in the United Auto Workers' efforts to expand its reach into the Southern auto industry. The UAW is targeting several U.S. factories, including those of Tesla, Honda, and Toyota, in a push to unionize. The union's campaign in the South has seen progress, with workers at a Mercedes factory in Alabama and a Hyundai plant also expressing interest in joining the UAW.
