"UAW Vote at Volkswagen Tennessee Plant: A Test for Resurgent Labor Movement in the American South"
TL;DR
The United Auto Workers (UAW) union election at a Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, will test the strength of the resurgent labor movement in the South, with as many as 4,300 employees voting on whether to join the UAW. The election comes after the UAW's successful strike against major U.S. carmakers last fall, which led to increased interest in unionization at non-union firms. The outcome of this election will indicate whether recent labor strikes can translate into a resurgence of union growth in the U.S.
