On Friday, workers at a Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee will finish casting their ballots to vote on whether to unionize with the United Auto Workers. The election, which began on Thursday, is scheduled to concluded at 8:30pm on Friday. Last year, the UAW lost the vote to unionize all of the hourly workers at this plant. Now, this vote only includes the 172 skilled trades workers who repair and maintain robots and machines at the plant. Volkswagen's request to prevent this election was denied by a regional director with the National Labor Relations Board.
