The United Auto Workers union attracted several hundred workers to gatherings earlier this week in Smyrna, Tenn., to talk about unionizing Nissan Motor Co.'s assembly plant there.
The union has been wooing employees in Smyrna and at Nissan's assembly facility in Canton, Miss., since early last year. UAW President Bob King has declared that organizing U.S. factories operated by foreign carmakers is crucial to the union's survival.
Previous UAW efforts to unionize such facilities have failed. King complained earlier this year that Nissan is illegally obstructing workers' rights to organize.
Analysts are impressed by the turnout, saying it's an indication that the union is making inroads in Smyrna. But the UAW has a long way to go: Nissan has more than 5,000 hourly employees at the plant.
