Apr 20, 2024, 02:16 AM
Over 4,000 workers at the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, have voted to join the United Auto Workers (UAW), marking a significant victory for the union. This election makes the Chattanooga plant the first in the South to unionize via election since the 1940s, highlighting a major shift in a region traditionally resistant to organized labor. The vote concluded with a decisive 73% in favor of unionizing, reflecting strong support among the workforce. This victory is seen as a potential catalyst for further unionization efforts in the South and across the U.S. auto industry.
