Members of the United Auto Workers union ratified a new labor contract with Daimler Truck on Saturday that includes at least a 25 percent general wage increase over the course of a four-year deal.
The vote was 94.5 percent in favor of the new contract—which covers more than 7,300 hourly UAW workers—after a tentative agreement was reached in late April, averting a strike at the 11th hour.
