The strike at Mack is ending this morning and the United Auto Workers Union 677 representing the workers reports that a contract extension is in place to allow workers to ratify a four-year agreement.
The agreement would cover approximately 3,500 UAW-represented employees at the Lehigh Valley truck plant, Hagerstown powertrain plant, Mack Customer Center, Middletown remanufacturing plant, and Baltimore and Jacksonville parts distribution centers.
The strike ends at 9 a.m. today.
The union said in the statement that the leadership “is working with the company to bring people back to work as soon as possible.”
A staggered ramp up is planned, beginning Monday, with essential employees to ensure a safe start up.
The full industrial system is up and running by mid- to late next week.
