Volkswagen AG has been ordered by the National Labor Relations Board to begin contract talks with skilled trades workers at its assembly plant in Chattanooga, Tenn.
About 160 of the plant’s 14,000 workers were organized by the United Auto Workers union last December. VW has resisted bargaining with the small group, contending that negotiations would be disruptive to the rest of the workforce.
The NLRB says in a unanimous order that VW’s refusal to bargain is unlawful and admonished the company not to interfere with workers’ rights to bargain. VW continues to suggest the UAW hold a new plantwide vote to organize the entire plant.
The union lost a close and contentious plant vote at the Chattanooga factory in 2014. But it set up a local office nearby anyway and says it has signed up more than half the plant’s hourly workers.
