(Reuters) – The United Auto Workers said Wednesday a battery manufacturing joint venture between GM and LG Energy Solution has agreed to recognize the union at a Tennessee plant.
The UAW said a majority of the workers at the Ultium Cells facility signed cards to join the UAW and the company has agreed to recognize their union after workers at a Ohio Ultium plant overwhelmingly voted to join the union in 2022 and won a new contract earlier this year with significant wage hikes. The companies did not immediately comment.
