General Motors and LG Energy Solution's plant in Tennessee will see significant pay raises for its workers now that they have joined the UAW, reflecting a successful union effort.
With this union recognition, starting pay at the GM battery plant will increase from $20 to $27.72 per hour, eventually rising to $30.88 over three years, bolstering workers' financial security.
The UAW’s growing presence in the southern U.S., especially at GM joint venture plants, signals a renewed effort to organize nonunion auto facilities, reinforcing workers' rights and benefits.
Ultium Cells LLC, which operates the Spring Hill plant, stated that union recognition will promote operational continuity and foster innovation, ensuring high-quality manufacturing standards in battery production.
