NC's governor praises weekend deal that averts major strike at Daimler Truck
Governor Roy Cooper is praising a tentative agreement between United Auto Workers and Daimler Truck. The UAW struck a four-year deal late Friday avoiding a potential strike that could have impacted more than 7,000 workers.
Cooper took to social media on Saturday to call the deal a “great win for hard working NC UAW members and their families.” Cooper also expressed his appreciation to UAW and Daimler leadership for staying at the negotiating table until the deal was done.
Attorney General Josh Stein, who is running for governor this year, echoed that sentiment saying North Carolina workers “deserve a fair shake that honors the work they do every day to provide for their families and keep our state strong.”
The agreement, which still must be ratified, includes raises of more than 25%, the end of wage tiers, the introduction profit-sharing, and Cost-of-Living (COLA) for the first time since Daimler workers first organized with the UAW.
