Volkswagen AG employees at a Tennessee factory have voted to join the United Auto Workers, a landmark victory for union organizing in the long-hostile US South.
The union won by a vote of 2,628 to 985, the US National Labor Relations Board said late Friday. If the result is formally certified by the agency, Volkswagen will be legally required to collectively bargain over working conditions and compensation at the plant.
