The United Auto Workers has won a union vote among skilled-trades workers at Volkswagen’s lone U.S. assembly plant in Tennessee.

The workers who specialize in repairing and maintaining machinery and robots at the German automaker’s factory in Chattanooga voted 108-44, or 71 percent, to have the UAW negotiate collective bargaining deals on their behalf.
