The announcement of the agreement on the UAW website was its first public acknowledgment of the strike since workers walked out at the beginning of June. For weeks, the UAW enforced a news blackout of the strike, seeking to prevent other workers from even knowing it is happening.
Its banner headline Thursday reads, “Striking Volvo Workers in Dublin Virginia Reach Tentative Agreement with Major Gains.” In fact, Volvo workers have not reached any agreement with Volvo. The UAW has reached the agreement with the company on the basis of negotiations carried out entirely behind the backs of Volvo workers.
