"Volkswagen Workers in Chattanooga Petition for Union Vote"

Volkswagen employees in Tennessee have petitioned the National Labor Relations Board for a unionization vote, with a "supermajority" of the 4,000 eligible workers at the plant having signed cards supporting the United Automobile Workers. This marks the third attempt by the workers to join the union, with the previous two attempts failing. If successful, this would be a significant win for the U.A.W. in its efforts to organize nonunion factories across the South.
