VW offers 14% wage hike over four years to Tennessee factory workers

(Reuters) – Volkswagen (ETR:VOWG_p) said Wednesday it is offering its newly unionized workers at its Tennessee assembly plant a 14% wage increase over four years and profit sharing.

The automaker and United Auto Workers union, which won an election at the Chattanooga, Tennessee facility in April, have been engaged in contract talks for several months. VW said the company’s offer includes profit sharing for the first time and improves health care benefits for hourly workers at the plant.

UAW President Shawn Fain’s victory at the VW plant made it the first auto plant in the South to unionize via election since the 1940s and the first foreign-owned auto plant in the South to do so.

Fain clinched the win after riding the momentum from a successful campaign in Detroit in late 2023. After a six-week strike against Ford (NYSE:F), General Motors (NYSE:GM) and Stellantis (NYSE:STLA) the union notched 25% general wage increases plus cost of living adjustments for their workers.

VW in Germany also in a tense back-and-forth with unions after a record number of workers went on strike. The automaker is trying to cut costs to compete with Asian carmakers, warning of significant job losses or plant closures.
