Signs from the UAW’s unsuccessful campaign in Chattanooga.An attorney for a Chattanooga anti-union group said Thursday he expects challenges to emerge to some of the two dozen United Auto Workers’ subpoenas issued this week in its appeal of the Volkswagen plant’s union election.
“You can count on it that there will be challenges to the scope of these subpoenas,” said Maury Nicely of Southern Momentum.
Nicely and Southern Momentum each were named to appear at a planned April 21 appeal hearing before the National Labor Relations Board in Chattanooga.
The UAW also subpoenaed Gov. Bill Haslam, U.S. Sen. Bob Corker, State Economic Development Commissioner Bill Hagerty and nearly the entire Hamilton County legislative delegation among others. The UAW wants them to bring documents and communications related to the union, VW and government incentives from Jan. 1 to the present.
