Labor Policy Director F. Vincent Vernuccio was cited in the Chattanooga Times Free Press and Bloomberg Businessweek about the ongoing labor talks at Volkswagen’s plant in Chattanooga, Tenn.
VW recently announced a policy that could recognize multiple unions in the plant, including the American Council of Employees and the UAW. Vernuccio cautioned that VW that it should not recognize either group as an exclusive representative of employees.
“I think VW wants a new type of union and a union of the future,” he said.
Vernuccio details such a process in his study, released earlier this week, “Unionization for the 21st Century: Solutions for the Ailing Labor Movement.”
