UAW Reach Deal with Daimler Truck, Averting Strike

HeadlineApr 30, 2024

The United Auto Workers and Daimler Truck reached a deal Friday to avert a possible strike at the truck and bus manufacturer in North Carolina. Under the tentative deal, 7,000 workers at Daimler Truck will see their salaries increase by 25% over the next four years. This is UAW President Shawn Fain.

Shawn Fain: “Time’s up for billionaires who think working-class people can’t stand up for themselves. Time’s up for a system of exploitation that destroys lives, that destroys families and destroys communities. … And the clock has run out on corporate greed. Today belongs to the working class.”
