Together, Volkswagen Group of America (VWGOA) and the UAW will set a new standard in the U.S. for
innovative labor-management relations that benefit the company, the entire
workforce, shareholders and the community in general. From Feb. 12-14, Volkswagen workers in Chattanooga,
Tenn., will decide the issue of union representation in a secret ballot election
supervised by the National Labor Relations Board. If the majority of workers
vote for UAW representation, workers would then elect a bargaining committee
from among VWGOA workers in Chattanooga to negotiate an agreement with the
company, including how a works council would operate in the
Chattanooga facility based on the principles of co-determination.
This would be the first works council established in the
United States. Ultimately, such a labor relations model would give workers an
integral role in co-managing the company and providing input on workplace
improvements that would contribute to the success of the company and the
workers. You can learn more about why Volkswagen Chattanooga workers want a
works council and union representation in the VW and UAW: Putting Collaboration First video, in
addition to other resources.
