Members of the United Auto Workers at the Volvo parts distribution center on Jacksonville’s Westside walked out Monday morning over their contract with Volvo subsidy Mack Trucks.
The strike came after the UAW rejected a tentative five-year collective bargaining agreement for about 4,000 workers.
When Labor Council members join autoworkers on the picket line at the Volvo parts distribution center on the city’s Westside at 1 p.m. Friday, it’s expected to be the biggest local show of support for autoworkers yet. “We were hopeful to bring back something that the membership would accept, but the membership spoke,” she said.
