NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Volkswagen has certified that the United Auto Workers union has qualified for the top tier of the German automaker’s labor policy at its plant in Tennessee.

The company confirmed to The Associated Press Monday afternoon that that the UAW had signed up at least 45 percent of workers at the Chattanooga plant.

The UAW lost a contentious union vote at the plant in February.

I hope that Volkswagen makes a commitment to not place their plants in any "right to work for less" states from here on.
Go UAW. My dad was a union man until the day he died. Worked at the General Motors plant in Leeds, Missouri in the Kansas City area and my uncle worked for BOP. The union has given my mother the best life possible with my father's retirement. Me, I'm sticking with the union.....compliments of Woody.
