Inspired by the success of the Big 3 strike, United Auto Workers members at Daimler Truck North America ran a very different kind of contract campaign this year than we ever had before. The 7,300 members at DTNA’s four North Carolina plants and parts distribution centers in Atlanta and Memphis were very active, informed, and involved in the bargaining process. This is not how the union had done things in the past. Here’s what we did differently, and some ideas on how to keep members in the loop and in motion for an effective contract campaign.
Southern autoworkers, facing stagnant wages and deteriorating work conditions at #DaimlerTruck North America, are demanding better pay, improved benefits, and an end to tiered employment structures. As their contract deadline nears, they're prepared to #strike.
This labor struggle symbolizes a broader push for worker rights in the anti-#union South.
