Volkswagen workers lost. Why?

From Feb. 12 to 14, hourly workers at Volkswagen’s four-year-old plant in Chattanooga, Tenn., voted on whether or not to be represented by the United Auto Workers.

WORLD DAY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE:



In 2007, the United Nations declared February 20 as the World Day of Social Justice. The pursuit of social justice requires us to remove barriers based on gender, age, race, ethnicity, religion, culture, and disability.
