BREAKING: Over 4,000 Volkswagen workers in Tennessee just joined the UAW in a landslide.

They’re the first American workers to win a union at a non-union car company in decades.

This historic victory will change the auto industry, and the future of American labor.

📣Later this week: 4️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ workers at VW Chattanooga will vote to join UAW

Workers will vote to have:
🎯 a better life
🎯 a voice in their schedules 🗒️
🎯 a voice in their pay💸
🎯 a voice in their benefits🏥

They will be welcomed with open arms.
