UAW Mack Trucks Union Members Unite with Striking Detroit Autoworkers on Picket Lines
Approximately 3,900 United Auto Workers (UAW) members at Mack Trucks will join the ongoing strike by Detroit autoworkers after rejecting a tentative agreement reached between the union and the company. The deal fell short of the workers' expectations for increased pay, equal pay, inflation protection, and shorter work weeks. The Mack Trucks strike adds to the tens of thousands of UAW members already striking at General Motors, Ford Motor, and Stellantis. UAW President Shawn Fain stated that the union remains committed to reaching an agreement but acknowledged that outstanding issues, including cost-of-living allowances and job security, remain in negotiations with Mack Trucks.
