Employees at Mack Trucks, a US industrial automaker, voted against a labor agreement, leading to approximately 4,000 workers joining the United Auto Workers (UAW) strike. The UAW announced the rejection on social media, stating that the strike would commence at 7 am on Monday. Mack Trucks, headquartered in North Carolina with manufacturing plants in Pennsylvania and Maryland, is known for producing industrial vehicles. This move adds to the ongoing strike initiated by around 25,000 UAW members at major automakers, including GM, Ford, and Stellantis, who began their targeted action on September 15, advocating for improved wages and better conditions amid the shift to electric vehicle manufacturing.
