UAW Appeals VW Vote Blaming Outside Parties

UAW President Bob King said on Monday that the union's appeal of a failed organizing effort at Volkswagen AG's plant in Chattanooga, Tenn., will focus on the actions of outside parties, not the German automaker.

In an interview with Reuters, King said, "Corporate VW acted with great integrity," in the run-up to last week's election.

"Our issue is really with outside third parties trying to threaten and intimidate both the company and workers," King said. "It was certainly not the company."
