4,000 more autoworkers will join other UAW members on strike: union

On Sunday, a labor agreement was voted down by employees at US industrial automaker Mack Trucks and they will join some 25,000 other United Auto Workers (UAW) members on strike, the union announced.

The union posted on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, it said, “UAW members at Mack Trucks have voted to REJECT a tentative agreement, and will STRIKE at 7 am on Monday.”

BREAKING: 4,000 UAW members at Mack Trucks have voted to REJECT a tentative agreement, and will STRIKE at 7 am on Monday.

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, the post said.

Shawn Fain, the UAW president, said, “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.”

The Mack workers will be joining striking United Auto Workers members at the so-called “Big Three” — GM, Ford, and Stellantis — who launched a targeted measure on September 15 after failing to get a new deal.

The targeted strike called for stoppages at a handful of plants, while leaving most of the union’s 146,000 US hourly auto workers on the job.

After two weeks of extending the walkout to other plants, Fain said on Friday that the UAW would hold off for now, quoting last-minute improvement in talks.

With the dual earlier growths of the strike the last two Fridays, the total number of workers on strike at the Big Three stands at roughly 25,000.

The industrial action is the first-ever joint strike at the three main automakers in a push for higher salaries and other progress, especially linked to the transition to manufacturing electric vehicles.
