UAW Unionizes Second Ultium Cells Battery Plant in Spring Hill, Tennessee
Sep 4, 2024, 01:30 PM
The United Auto Workers (UAW) union has achieved a significant victory as 1,000 workers at the Ultium Cells battery plant in Spring Hill, Tennessee, voted to join the union. This marks the second Ultium plant in the United States to unionize, following the first in Lordstown, Ohio, in 2022. The joint venture between General Motors and LG Energy Solution has agreed to recognize the union at the Tennessee plant. This development is seen as a breakthrough for labor unions in the South, traditionally known for its anti-union stance. The Ultium Cells workers are considered essential to the electric vehicle (EV) industry and the country's industrial future.
