A strike at the New River Valley Volvo truck plant was poised to enter its eighth day Saturday.
“Everything’s going great,” Billy Ogle, vice president of Local 2069 of the UAW, said Friday.
Refusing to make trucks, workers began the strike April 17 and have posted pictures daily on Facebook of picketers who surround the Pulaski County plant. The plant employs more than 3,300 people, about 2,900 of whom are UAW members, according to a previous company statement.
