CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - Workers at Volkswagen AG’s assembly plant in the state of Tennessee narrowly voted against union representation, dealing a fresh blow to the United Auto Workers’ efforts to unionize a foreign automaker’s plant in the U.S. South.
“Our employees have spoken,” Frank Fischer, president of Volkswagen Chattanooga, said in a statement. “Pending certification of the results... Volkswagen will respect the decision of the majority.” Rothenberg said it was too early to tell whether the UAW would appeal the election results, or whether the union would support another vote at the plant.
The union’s membership peaked at 1.5 million in 1979 and despite gains this decade, it fell to below 400,000 last year.
