Volkswagen AG has announced a new policy for its assembly plant in Chattanooga, Tenn., that allows qualified labor organizations to hold meetings at the facility and engage plant management.
The so-called Community Organization Engagement policy does not allow any labor group to claim or ask for the exclusive right to represent the plant's workforce. To win that right, a union must win a worker vote under rules of the National Labor Relations Act.
But the VW policy does grant unions increasing levels of access to plant facilities for meetings, to post information and meet with the factory's executives. VW says unions can verify their level of support by submitting certified lists of enrolled members to an external auditor.
The plan does not specifically mention the United Auto Workers union, which lost a contentious vote at the plant in February. The UAW later set up a nearby local anyway and claims it has attracted more than half the facility's hourly workforce.
