Mack Trucks announced on Oct. 24 that the company and the United Auto Workers union reached a tentative agreement on the terms of a new four-year agreement that would cover approximately 3,500 employees at six facilities in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Florida.

In conjunction with the tentative agreement, the UAW ended its strike against the affected facilities, effective 9 a.m. on October 25, and workers have returned to work.

Further comment on the proposed agreement is being withheld pending ratification by the various UAW Locals involved in the negotiations. Ratification meetings are being scheduled by the UAW.

Asked about the labor strike at a recent event, Martin Weissburg, president of Mack Trucks, said “We are delighted to have our union colleagues back at work, receiving full pay and benefits.”

Weissburg said the re-ramp of production has started already and is progressing.
