Volkswagen workers vote overwhelmingly to join the UAW, giving the union a groundbreaking win

cnn.com/2024/04/19/business/volkswagen-uaw-vote/

Quick Glance: UAW Secures Historic Victory as Volkswagen Workers in Tennessee Vote for Union Representation

Volkswagen workers in Chattanooga, Tennessee, made history by voting to join the United Auto Workers, marking the first auto factory in the South since the 1940s to unionize.

Nearly three-quarters of 3,613 workers voted yes in a three-day election with high turnout, granting the union a significant first win in its efforts to organize factories of a dozen automakers in the South.

The organizing effort concludes a strong year for the U.S. labor movement, obtaining record wage increases across various industries through strikes and tough negotiations.

The UAW, led by President Shawn Fain, achieved notable successes in negotiations with Detroit automakers last fall, securing substantial raises and benefits through a contentious strike.
