UAW Workers Go on Strike Against Mack Trucks Amid Ongoing Negotiations

Nearly 4,000 United Automobile Workers members went on strike against Mack Trucks after rejecting a tentative contract.

The strike comes as UAW is also conducting strikes at GM, Ford, and Stellantis auto plants.

Mack Truck workers have been negotiating with the company for 3 months over wages, benefits, pensions, prescription drug coverage, overtime, and more.

The rejected Mack Truck contract included raises of 19% over 5 years and a $3,500 ratification bonus.

UAW says Mack Truck workers deserve more, noting auto worker wage increases have not kept pace with inflation over the past 15 years.
