Workers at Volkswagen's Chattanooga Plant to Vote on Unionization in April
===============

The United Auto Workers (UAW) is making a third attempt to unionize the 4,100 workers at the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The UAW has committed $40 million to the goal of organizing non-union auto companies in the South. A supermajority of Chattanooga workers have signed union election authorization cards, and the union's ultimate goal is to win over the estimated 150,000 autoworkers in the union-averse South.
Key issues in Chattanooga include wages, working conditions, and respect on the job. The UAW has tried twice before to unionize VW in Chattanooga, narrowly losing the most high-profile vote. The UAW is undeterred by the track record and is confident in its new leadership and the success of its Stand Up rolling strikes against the Detroit automakers.
