UAW says effort at Chattanooga plant in Tennessee is booming as union aims expand membership after recent victories
More than 1,000 workers at Volkswagen’s Chattanooga plant in Tennessee – the automaker’s flagship US manufacturing site – have signaled they want to unionize, a significant early win in the United Auto Workers’ latest attempt to expand its membership.
The UAW announced on Thursday that over 30% of the plant’s workforce had signed on in the first week. Once a majority signs union authorization cards, the UAW can file for a union election with the National Labor Relations Board.
