Mack Trucks confirmed the deal on Monday after the UAW’s announcement just before midnight Sunday.
“The terms of this tentative agreement would deliver significantly increased wages and continue first-class benefits for Mack employees and their families,” said Mack President Stephen Roy in a statement.
“At the same time, it would allow the company to successfully compete in the market, and continue making the necessary investments in our people, plants and products,” he added.
The UAW said that more details would become available as members review the tentative deal with Mack, one of North America’s largest manufacturers of medium-duty trucks, heavy-duty trucks, proprietary engines, and transmissions, according to its official website.
Founded in 1900, Mack Trucks was purchased by Volvo Group in 2000.
