Both pro-and anti-union forces are predicting victory as workers at Chattanooga's Volkswagen plant decidewhether to allow the United Auto Workers to represent then. If the workers vote yes, VW will set up a works councilwith UAW participation at the plant--a first in the United States. Works councilsare the normat VW plants in Europe, but VW can't legally establish one in the U.S. unless workers are represented by a union such as UAW.
In a press release, Volkswagen officials say election results will be counted and announced after 10 p.m. Friday evening in Chattanooga.
Tune in to WUTC to learn whether pro- or anti-union forces have won this contentious battle.
