UAW Workers at Mack Trucks Vote to Strike, Reject Contract Offer

The United Auto Workers (UAW) union has rejected a tentative agreement with Mack Trucks and will go on strike starting Monday. The union stated that 73% of its workers voted against the proposed deal. This strike comes as the UAW continues to strike against three major car manufacturers. Mack Trucks, owned by Sweden's Volvo Group, is a major US maker of heavy-duty and medium-duty trucks. The union's bargaining goals at Mack Trucks mirror its demands in talks with other automakers, including improved wages and benefits. Strikes have become more common this year as unions demand better pay and working conditions.
