    UAW Files Grievance In Tennessee Against Volkswagen

      UAW Isn't Happy That Volkswagen Isn't Coming to the Table

    The last thing Volkswagen wants is another issue on its plate. But this week, the UAW has filed an unfair labor practices charge in Tennessee against the automaker. The filing states that Volkswagen declined to negotiate on a contract with the newly formed collective bargaining unit at the Chattanooga, TN plant.

     

    Earlier this month, a group of 152 skilled tradesmen voted at the plant voted on whether or not to form a UAW bargaining unit at the plant. With 71 percent votes saying yes, the unit was formed. At the time, Volkswagen said it would appeal the vote to the National Labor Relations Board. The Wall Street Journal reports that the German automaker hasn't done that.

     

    "Following this month’s election, we were hopeful that the company would accept the results and recommit to the principles of social responsibility that made Volkswagen a respected global brand. Instead, Volkswagen has refused to come to the bargaining table in violation of federal law,” UAW Secretary-Treasurer Gary Casteel said in a statement.

     

    A spokesman for Volkswagen declined to comment.

     

    Last February, the Chattanooga plant voted if they wanted union representation failed to pass.
