More than 4,000 VW workers are eligible to vote, beginning Wednesday and ending at 8 p.m. EDT on Friday.
The organizing vote, which is being overseen by the National Labor Relations Board, will need a simple majority to succeed.
Volkswagen, which has union workers at non-U.S. plants, has said it will let its workers determine whether to organize.
