‘We don’t have a say’: workers join push to unionize flagship Volkswagen plant

UAW hopes to extend ‘Big Three’ victories to company’s plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, which has resisted prior efforts

Fresh off its victories over the US’s three biggest domestic automakers, the United Auto Workers (UAW) is going all out to unionize Volkswagen’s flagship plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

The UAW led a successful strike for significant increases in pay and benefits for workers at Detroit’s “Big Three” auto manufacturers – Ford, General Motors and Stellantis – last year.
