"Mack Trucks workers go on strike after rejecting company's offer"

Mack Trucks workers in Pennsylvania, Florida, and Maryland have gone on strike after rejecting a tentative agreement with the company. The agreement included a $3,500 ratification bonus and a 20% pay raise over five years, but workers felt the raise was insufficient to keep up with inflation. Concerns were also raised about an 8.5-hour workday and the lack of contract language guaranteeing the company's presence in the Lehigh Valley. The strike, supported by the UAW, comes after the last strike in 2019 and is expected to last for an unknown duration.
