WASHINGTON—Three Democratic U.S. senators on May 21 questioned a decision by Volkswagen AG’s U.S. unit to delay a union election for workers at its Tennessee assembly plant.

Earlier this month, the largest German automaker won its bid to put off a union vote for 1,700 workers at the Chattanooga plant until its challenge to a smaller United Auto Workers bargaining unit at the factory is settled.
