Approximately 1,000 employees at a General Motors joint venture electric vehicle battery facility in Spring Hill, Tennessee, are set to receive substantial pay increases following their recent unionisation with the United Auto Workers.
GM and LG Energy Solution of Korea, the joint operators of the plant, have agreed to acknowledge the United Auto Workers union after a majority of employees signed cards indicating their desire to join. The union announced in a statement that, although local contract negotiations will take place, worker pay and other details will be determined by the national contract agreed upon last fall.
