The Sunday vote by roughly 3,900 UAW members at Mack Trucks could test the willingness of workers to ratify a deal that falls short of expectations.
Those workers are hoping they can get similar benefits to what their brethren are seeking from the Detroit automakers.
The worker and several other UAW members with Mack Trucks who asked not to be identified due to fear of retribution from the union or company said they plan to vote against the deal. Their reasons included the tentative agreement not meeting expectations, the length of the deal being a year longer than before and the pay increases and bonuses not being enough to offset inflation or reward them for working through the Covid-19 pandemic.
UAW declined to comment on the comparison in contracts between Mack Trucks and the Detroit automakers. Mack Trucks President Stephen Roy, in a Monday statement, said the tentative agreement "would deliver significantly increased wages and continue first-class benefits for Mack employees and their families," while keeping the company competitive.
