After a 13-day strike called off by UAW officials, union workers at Volvo Trucks North America (VTNA) overwhelmingly rejected a tentative agreement Sunday. But they will stay on the job, company officials said.
The strongly negative vote may be a repudiation of UAW officials by the rank and file, which had complained about being told to return to work after calling off a 13-day strike on April 30. Local members complained about ending the walkout without seeing details of the five-year agreement their negotiators reached with the Sweden-based truck maker.
