Members of the United Auto Workers ratified a new labor contract with Daimler Truck that includes at least a 25% general wage increase over the four-year deal, which is sure to be noticed by Mercedes workers in Alabama conducting a union vote next week.
Members of the United Auto Workers have ratified a new labor contract with Daimler Truck that includes at least a 25% general wage increase over the four-year deal.
The contract covers hourly workers at six facilities in southern states where unionization has traditionally been low, including four factories in North Carolina and parts warehouses in Georgia and Tennessee. The deal also includes profit-sharing and cost-of-living adjustments for workers at the maker of Freightliner and Western Star trucks and Thomas Built buses as well as the end of wage tiers that paid those building buses less than those building heavy trucks.
Workers will receive an immediate 10% pay raise, followed by 3% increases six months and 12 months later, Fain said.
