Members of the United Auto Workers at the Volvo parts distribution center on Jacksonville’s Westside were on the picket line Tuesday. They walked out Monday amid ongoing contract negotiations with Volvo subsidy Mack Trucks.
Workers in Pennsylvania and Maryland are also part of the strike, which came after the UAW rejected a tentative five-year collective bargaining agreement for about 4,000 workers.
“We reported to work six o’clock yesterday morning, on Monday, and we walked out at 7a.m.,” she said., Mack Trucks said they had reached a tentative agreement with the United Auto Workers, offering a 20% raise over five years and a guarantee of no increases to health insurance premiums during that time.
Williams said she voted in favor of the tentative agreement after spending five weeks negotiating in Allentown, Pa. The Jacksonville distribution center is one of three Mack Truck locations striking. Although there are just 27 UAW members working at the Jacksonville location, there are thousands of others also on picket lines in Pennsylvania and Maryland.She told News4JAX that she and her colleagues will continue striking for their demands as long as it takes.
