Publishing timestamp: 2024-04-22 13:08:54
Summary
VW workers in Chattanooga, Tennessee voted in favor of joining UAW, marking the Detroit union's first victory at a foreign-owned automaker plant in the South. The vote could have wide-ranging impacts on other automakers, organized labor, and the overall U.S. automotive industry. The UAW is using deals with Detroit automakers as a springboard for an unprecedented organizing drive at non-union automakers. The next target for the union is Mercedes-Benz workers in Alabama. The organizing efforts at VW could lead to upward pressure on wages and labor costs in the industry.
