Summary
About 3,900 United Auto Workers (UAW) members with Mack Trucks will go on strike after rejecting a tentative agreement reached with the company. The deal fell short of the union's demands for higher pay, equal pay, inflation protection, and shorter work weeks. The strike adds to the ongoing strikes by UAW members at General Motors, Ford Motor, and Stellantis. The Mack Trucks deal was seen as a test of workers' willingness to accept a contract that didn't meet their expectations. The company expressed disappointment and stated its commitment to reaching an agreement.
