Union tileA hearing in the United Auto Workers petition for an election to represent maintenance workers at Volkswagen’s Enterprise South industrial park plant has been set for Tuesday in Chattanooga.
The hearing is slated for the federal building at 10 a.m., according to the National Labor Relations Board.
A NLRB hearing officer is expected to fix the dates of the election, which the UAW has proposed for Thursday and Friday at the plant.
UAW Local 42 wants to organize the 164 maintenance, or skilled trades, employees at the VW plant for collective bargaining purposes.
The union lost an election at the plant in February 2014 by a margin of 712 to 626 of blue-collar employees at the factory.
