"Volkswagen Chattanooga Workers File for Union Election"

Workers at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, Tennessee plant have filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board to join the United Auto Workers, marking a significant milestone in the union's efforts to organize nonunionized auto plants in the U.S. The UAW's previous attempts to unionize foreign-based automakers in the U.S. have fallen short, including at Volkswagen's Chattanooga plant in 2019. The plant, which employs over 4,000 workers, will now have an election to determine union representation, with Volkswagen expressing support for a democratic process and workers' right to organize.
