UAW Recognition at GM Battery Plant: The United Auto Workers (UAW) announced that General Motors and LG Energy Solution have recognized the union at their Ultium Cells battery manufacturing facility in Tennessee, following a majority of employees signing cards to join. This comes after a successful unionization effort at an Ohio plant last year.
Ongoing Union Organizing Efforts: UAW President Shawn Fain is leading a nationwide organizing campaign targeting major automakers, with recent successes including a union vote at a Volkswagen plant in Tennessee. The union's political backing from Vice President Kamala Harris may bolster these efforts amid ongoing tensions with former President Trump.
