Labor Representation - UAW and VW

Multiple Tiered Bargaining Representatives

Volkswagen has a new policy that allows labor organizations that can prove they represent at least 15% of the workers at a plant to represent those workers in workplace discussions. This is a very interesting concept. The policy goes onto state that if any union does in fact desire to become the exclusive bargaining representative of the workers, that they must do so in the normal method by going to the National Labor Relations Board and petitioning.
