WASHINGTON: Employees at US industrial automaker Mack Trucks voted down a labour agreement on Sunday and will join some 25,000 other United Auto Workers (UAW) members on strike, the union announced.
“UAW members at Mack Trucks have voted to REJECT a tentative agreement, and will STRIKE at 7am on Monday,” the union posted on X, formerly Twitter.
The post said that it would impact 4,000 employees at Mack, a maker of industrial vehicles which is headquartered in North Carolina, but has manufacturing plants in Pennsylvania and Maryland.
“I’m inspired to see UAW members at Mack holding out for a better deal, and ready to stand up and walk off the job to win it,” said UAW president Shawn Fain.
