New York CNN —An 11th-hour tentative contract agreement reached between Mack Trucks and the United Auto Workers union late Sunday narrowly averted a strike by 3,900 employees at the company.
There are other UAW members on strike elsewhere also receiving the same strike benefit, including more than 1,000 members on strike at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan.
It last struck Mack Trucks in October of 2019, just after a six-week strike at GM.
The walkouts began on September 15 and have since expanded to include more than 25,000 union members across the three companies.
Mack Trucks is one of the major US makers of heavy duty and medium duty trucks, with deliveries of 27,000 in 2022, and 16,000 in for the first half of 2023.
