Summary
Volkswagen workers at a plant in Tennessee have filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board to vote to join the United Auto Workers. This comes after a "supermajority" of workers signed union cards. The Chattanooga plant is VW's only U.S. assembly plant, and the company has confirmed it will support the NLRB vote. VW's hourly wages are lower than those negotiated by UAW with Detroit automakers.
