I’ve been covering the auto industry since 1989, first as CNN Detroit Bureau Chief, then as the National Auto Writer for the Associated Press, General Motors beat writer at the Detroit News and video reporter at Automotive News.
Volkswagen automobile assembly plant on March 20, 2024 in Chattanooga , Tennessee. The United Auto Workers filed for a union vote for the 4,000 hourly workers at the Chattanooga plant in an effort to begin to organize nonunion automobile plants across the nation. Yolanda Peoples is ready to get the vote started. The 13-year veteran and her co-workers at the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga , Tennessee begin voting Wednesday on whether to join the UAW .
“I think it truly is a moment for the UAW,” said Harley Shaiken, labor expert and emeritus professor at the University of California, Berkeley, in an interview. “Unions are at near record popularity with Americans as shown in relatively recent polls. Gallup stands out where 67% of those polled, I think, last September, had a favorable opinion of unions. In particular, younger workers have a very favorable impression of the unions. So that's one dimension.
“The biggest thing is outside forces that are coming in and trying to persuade employees to vote no. They have no basis whatsoever trying to determine how we live our lives,” said Peoples.
