Striking UAW members were set up outside the Volvo Trucks North
America plant in Pulaski County earlier this year. The plant is one
of the largest private sector employers in the region, with about
3,300 employees.
Unionized workers at the Volvo Trucks North America plant in Dublin rejected a third tentative agreement with the company Friday.
About 2,900 of the plant s more than 3,000 employees are members of United Auto Workers Local 2069. They ve been on strike since June 7 and voted on a tentative agreement Friday.
Workers will continue to strike, according to a UAW news release. Union members receive $275 a week to staff picket lines around the plant, and they get health coverage through the union.
