Mack Trucks union workers vote to ratify contract, ending strike and securing jobs

Union workers at Mack Trucks have voted to ratify a new five-year contract, ending a 39-day strike. The contract, which covers approximately 3,900 employees in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Florida, includes significant local improvements, a 20% compounded raise, and a $3,500 ratification bonus. Job security was a major concern for the workers, and language addressing this issue was added to the local agreement. While some workers expressed disappointment over the absence of cost-of-living adjustments, the majority found the contract acceptable and are ready to return to work.
