Release the full contract! Workers have the right to know what is in the tentative agreement!
The Volvo Workers Rank-and-File Committee demands that the UAW release the full tentative agreement to Volvo workers and give us 10 days to dig through the details.
The UAW claims that this contract contains “major gains” for workers. From what we have been able to determine from the highlights and various documents released so far, however, we see that it 1) includes significant increases in health care costs and wage increases that are far below soaring inflation levels, with no COLA escalator clause; 2) requires six years for new hires to reach top pay; and 3) reduces lump sum payments to less than what we have lost due to the strike.

or by text to (540) 307-0509. The Volvo Workers Rank-and-File Committee calls on workers to vote “no” on the new Tentative Agreement brought back by the UAW. This TA is another sellout that proves workers were right not to trust anything that was agreed to in the dark and behind our backs.
On Thursday, the UAW published a statement on its website, “Striking Volvo Trucks workers in Dublin, Virginia reach a tentative agreement with major gains.” According to Ray Curry, who became president of the UAW the same day that the TA was announced, this contract “reflects significant gains from the prior two tentative agreements.”
