Mack Trucks on Sunday announced members of the United Auto Workers (UAW) union ratified a new four-year collective bargaining agreement with the company that covers approximately 3,500 employees at six facilities in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Florida.
“The new agreement allows us to continue providing our UAW-represented employees and their families with an attractive package of wages and benefits, while safeguarding the company’s competitiveness and supporting the success of our customers,” says Mack Trucks President Martin Weissburg.
UAW Mack Truck members ratified the deal by more than 79 percent, according to the UAW.
“Through the new four-year agreement, the UAW looks to further expand its long-term relationship with Mack Trucks. The members at Mack were able to hold the line on health care and add job security provisions and substantial raises during a difficult economic time in the industry,” Ray Curry, UAW secretary-treasurer and director, UAW Heavy Truck Department, said in a prepared statement.
