In Tennessee, skilled workers at a Volkswagen plant have recently voted to unionize with the United Auto Workers (UAW). This vote comes just over 20 months after the UAW lost the vote to unionize the entire workforce at the plant. The skilled workers, who maintain and repair the machines and robots, voted 104-44 in favor of representation by the UAW. Volkswagen, which has opposed the ruling to allow just skilled workers to unionize, plans to appeal this decision with the National Labor Relations Board.
