The United Auto Workers (UAW) union announced November 15 that roughly 3,900 of its members working for Mack Trucks approved a new five-year labor deal with the company, effectively ending a month-long strike against the Volvo-owned organization.

According to Reuters, Mack Trucks said that the new contract will increase the average wages of UAW members by 36% over the life of the contract. Also, all covered employees will be eligible for an average immediate raise of almost 15%.

Mack Trucks said that the new deal covered employees at facilities located in Florida, Pennsylvania and Maryland.

The ratification comes after union workers rejected a tentative deal with Mack Trucks in October that included a 19% pay raise. UAW members argued that the original offer 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 social media post.

Union members are still in the midst of ratifying similar labor deals with Detroit’s Big Three automakers (Ford, GM and Stellantis) following six weeks of strike actions at car manufacturing facilities.

Members of the United Auto Workers (UAW) union at General Motors’ Spring Hill, Tennessee plant and Ford’s Louisville, Kentucky truck plant voted no on a pair of recently proposed contract agreements between the union and two of the Detroit Big Three automakers November 13. Fifty-two percent of UAW members at GM’s Flint, Michigan assembly plant, which employs about 4,700 workers, also voted against the proposal during the week of November 7.
