Volvo truck plant workers go on strike
DUBLIN, Va. — Workers at Volvo Trucks North America’s assembly plant here have walked off the job.
About 2,600 UAW members are now without contract, after it expired at midnight.
“We regret that the UAW has decided to take this action,” said Per Carlsson, president and CEO of Volvo Trucks North America. “Volvo Trucks is committed to the collective bargaining process, and we will continue to bargain in good faith until an agreement can be achieved.”
Volvo’s VT, VN and VHD trucks are assembled at New River Valley plant here.
