Earlier this year, more than 7,300 UAW members across six locals at Daimler Truck won a record contract by using our new approaches to bargaining. The historic Daimler agreement includes 25% wage increases, job security, and—for the first time ever—profit sharing and cost-of-living adjustments, while ending wage tiers that had divided workers for years. The victory at Daimler is a testament to both worker solidarity and a new approach to collective bargaining.
So, how did UAW members at Daimler Truck do it? UAW Director of Bargaining Strategies Mike Morrison and Communications Assistant Director Krissi Jimroglou will present a case study on how the workers at Daimler Truck achieved an unprecedented victory and the strategy and tactics that helped them secure major historic gains.
