Tennessee plant is currently the only Volkswagen plant globally without union representation, according to the UAW
Volkswagen workers in Chattanooga, Tennessee filed a petition to join the United Auto Workers (UAW) on Monday after a supermajority of workers at the plant signed union authorization cards.
It is the first union election filing for the union since it launched a massive campaign aimed at organizing 150,000 workers at non-unionized auto plants in the US in the wake of securing historic gains in their contracts at the big three US automakers, Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis last year.
