The @uaw.org has won a tentative agreement from VW nearly two years after workers voted to unionize in Chattanooga.
Over 3,000 workers will get:
- A 20% raise
- Better healthcare
- A bonus of about $6,550 per worker upon ratification
And much more.

This series was great the first time, and even richer the second. This second timer I am keeping track of more people, and catching many more details, breadcrumbs, and foreshadowing.
