The UAW responded by calling on the federal labor panel to issue an unfair labor practice complaint against Volkswagen. NLRB ( the United Auto Workers Union ) has filed a complaint alleging unfair labour relations against the United Auto Workers Union (VW). The dispute relates to VW’s refusal to engage in contract discussions with Volkswagen at the company’s sole German assembly plant, based in Tennessee . Workers at the plant elected the union to represent their interests. VW then challenged the NLRB ’s decision to allow the small number of workers to hold a ballot on unionisation. The federal labour panel subsequently rejected VW’s challenge, although Volkswagen intends to appeal this decision at federal level.
