CHATTANOOGA, Tennessee - Workers at Volkswagen's Tennessee plant have voted to join the United Auto Workers, the union said on Friday, calling victory after an unofficial tally showed a majority of eligible workers had cast ballots in favor of the union.
The victory is a huge shot in the arm for UAW President Shawn Fain's campaign to unionize plants owned by more than a dozen automakers across the U.S., including Tesla. Fain and his team have committed to spending $40 million through 2026 on the effort. VW took a neutral position on the vote at its only non-union factory globally. The UAW has previously represented VW workers at a Pennsylvania plant that built Rabbit cars before it closed in 1988.
The broader labor movement has since gone through somewhat of a renaissance, with a record number of workers across various industries going on strike last year.
