REUTERS/Rebecca Cook/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsOct 9 (Reuters) - Union workers at Volvo Group (VOLVb.ST)-owned Mack Trucks went on strike on Monday after overwhelmingly rejecting a proposed five-year contract, the United Auto Workers said, the latest tentative labor agreement to be voted down. In online forums, some Mack workers complained the raise was too small to keep up with inflation. Canadian workers at GM also face a contract talk deadline at midnight on Monday that could lead to another strike. Mack President Roy said the company "clearly demonstrated our commitment to good-faith bargaining by arriving at a tentative agreement that was endorsed by both the International UAW and the UAW Mack Truck Council." "UAW members and workers across the economy are mobilizing to demand their fair share," the UAW said in a letter to Mack.
