It’s the end of the United Auto Workers’ big plans in Volkswagen’s Chattanooga plant, Tennessee. At the end of voting on Friday, the employees voted against joining the union in a vote of 712 to 626, i.e. more than 53 percent for a high turnout – 89 percent. However, the plant’s management still wants to set up a works council.
UAW denounces “firestorm of interference.” Though the National Labor Relations Board, which supervised the election, still needs to certify these figures, the union immediately acknowledged its defeat, denouncing “a firestorm of interference and threats from special interest groups.”
