Workers to Vote in Union Election Starting Today at VW Chattanooga Plant
CHATTANOOGA, TN—More than 1,700 workers at Volkswagen’s assembly plant here will go to the polls Wednesday through Friday as the United Auto Workers tries for a breakthrough in its drive to unionize a foreign automaker in the South.
A UAW win among the German carmaker’s production and skilled trades workers wouldn’t just impact the Chattanooga plant, but would be seen by experts as rattling the region.
