Autoworkers across the United States are intensifying their efforts to unionize, targeting major automakers including Toyota, the world's largest automaker, and Volkswagen. At Toyota's plant in Troy, Missouri, workers have cited sustained injuries and inadequate wages as key motivations behind their push to join the United Auto Workers (UAW). Similarly, the UAW and Volkswagen have reached an agreement to hold a unionization election at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, Tennessee plant from April 17 to 19. Isaac Meadows, a Volkswagen employee and member of the UAW organizing committee, expressed hope that their efforts would be the 'first domino' to inspire further unionization movements within the industry.
“Hopefully we’re the first domino that falls, and we see that movement carry on,” says VW employee and @UAW organizing committee member Isaac Meadows. “I want to see us go first so that we can set an example.” https://t.co/EsSHRQjvyN https://t.co/ECjdyDW8Mf
