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.
