[Omaha Steve]

“With UAW’s win at Volkswagen, another gateway to the South has been opened. No longer will the wage-and-benefit standards of the million-strong auto workforce in the U.S. be set by the non-union portion of the industry.”

In a watershed victory, workers at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, Tennessee, voted ​“UAW, yes!” on Friday.

The company’s sole non-union plant will finally join the rest of the world.

“If Volkswagen workers at plants in Germany and Mexico have unions, why not us?” equipment operator Briam Calderon said in Spanish ahead of the vote.

“Just like Martin Luther King had a dream, we have a dream at Volkswagen that we will be UAW one day,” said Renee Berry, a logistics worker on the organizing committee who’s worked at the plant for 14 years.
