CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE – The NLRB announced tonight that UAW won a historic union election at Volkswagen in Chattanooga Tennessee. The union won by a margin of more than 70% as votes continued be counted.
It was the third time in ten years that the UAW tried to unionize, losing narrowly in two previous efforts. Now, with a victory in Chattanooga, it opens the door to more unionizing across the South.
“About time. Mercedes is next,” texted Mercedes Alabama worker Kirk Garner, where the UAW is slated to hold a union election from May 13th to May 17th.
