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.

"Mack Trucks workers go on strike after rejecting company's offer"

Mack Trucks workers in Pennsylvania, Florida, and Maryland have gone on strike after rejecting a tentative agreement with the company. The agreement included a $3,500 ratification bonus and a 20% pay raise over five years, but workers felt the raise was insufficient to keep up with inflation. Concerns were also raised about an 8.5-hour workday and the lack of contract language guaranteeing the company's presence in the Lehigh Valley. The strike, supported by the UAW, comes after the last strike in 2019 and is expected to last for an unknown duration.

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.

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.

UAW Workers at Mack Trucks Erupt in Anger, Reject Contract and Go on Strike

Mack Trucks workers in Pennsylvania expressed anger and opposition at a UAW "information session" held to push through a tentative contract that the union presented as a "record." Only one out of 400 workers in attendance expressed support for the contract, with many wearing "Vote No" shirts. The contract, if ratified, would extend the working day without overtime pay and prevent a 2027 conclusion that aligns with the expiration of a contract at a sister plant. Workers voiced concerns about the impact on their personal lives and criticized the UAW for not representing their interests. The UAW is facing widespread opposition and fears that the Mack workers' discontent could trigger an industry-wide shutdown.

UAW-Mack Trucks Contract: Worker Demands and Opposition to Sellout Deal

United Auto Workers (UAW) members at Mack Trucks will vote on a tentative agreement that falls short of their demands, potentially testing their willingness to accept a lesser deal compared to expectations set by UAW President Shawn Fain. Some workers were expecting similar increases and benefits as their counterparts at Detroit automakers. The tentative agreement includes a 19% wage increase over five years, ratification bonuses, and increased 401(k) company payments, but does not address wage tiers, traditional pensions, cost-of-living adjustments, or shorter work weeks. Some workers plan to vote against the deal, expressing disappointment and feeling unsupported by the union.

Mack Trucks and UAW Union Avert Strike with Tentative Deal

Mack Trucks and the United Auto Workers union reached a last-minute tentative contract agreement, narrowly avoiding a strike by 3,900 employees. The union's contract was set to expire at 11:59 pm ET, but the agreement needs to be ratified by the rank-and-file for it to go into effect. The deal comes as the union continues to strike against three major car manufacturers. Details of the agreement were not immediately released, but it reflects the union's demands for improved wages, healthcare, and pension benefits. A strike would have further drained the union's strike fund, which is already supporting over 25,000 striking members.

UAW and Mack Trucks Successfully Avert Strike with New Agreement

The United Auto Workers (UAW) and Mack Trucks, owned by Volvo Group, have reached a temporary agreement just before midnight on Sunday, avoiding a strike by about 4,000 workers. The deal, which still needs to be ratified by the UAW, includes increased wages and continued benefits for Mack employees. The UAW is currently in the third week of a strike against General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis. The potential strike by Mack workers could have strained the UAW's strike fund. Workers across various industries in the US have been demanding better wages and benefits due to high inflation and low unemployment.
