Volkswagen says in a letter to the National Labor Relations Board that the company doesn’t support groups representing some Chattanooga plant workers seeking to intervene in the United Auto Workers appeal of last month’s union vote.

In a one-page letter, Volkswagen Group of America attorney Steven Swirsky said the company “does not believe there is any basis for the motions to intervene to be granted.”

The attorney said the letter is in response to a request of VW’s position by Nancy Wilson, acting NLRB regional director in Atlanta.

The letter said that VW “defers to the NLRB to make the appropriate decision after considering the motions.”
