(Reuters) – Members of the United Auto Workers on Saturday ratified a new labor contract with Daimler Truck, the union said in a statement.
The vote was 94.5% in favor of the new contract, which covers more than 7,300 hourly UAW workers and was agreed upon in April.
The company lists on its website more than six manufacturing plants in the U.S. including four in North Carolina.
