The UAW and Mack Trucks had reached a tentative deal in October that included a 19% pay raise, but union workers overwhelmingly rejected it and went on a strike. The deal had also included a $3,500 ratification bonus, improved retirement benefits and a reduction in the time needed to get to top pay, but some Mack Workers complained the raise was too small to keep up with inflation. "After 39 days on strike, UAW members at Mack Trucks have voted by 93% to ratify their new contract with significant local improvements," the union said in a post on messaging platform X, earlier known as Twitter.
United Auto Workers union members at General Motors Flint assembly plant in Michigan have narrowly voted against a proposed contract with the U.S. automaker, the local chapter said.
