The National Labor Relations Board said a group of about 160 maintenance workers at Volkswagen’s plant in Tennessee has the right to form a union, delivering a key victory to the United Auto Workers’ multi-year effort to organize the plant.
A labor board panel voted 2-1 in the UAW’s favor, in an order released Wednesday, as it ruled against Volkswagen’s argument that the union must organize all of the plant’s workers. The plant has a total hourly workforce of about 1,400.
