UAW members reach tentative agreement with Volvo

Members of UAW Local 2069 reached a tentative agreement this evening with Volvo Truck North America in Dublin, Va.

The agreement, if ratified, will conclude a strike by 2,600 UAW members at Volvo that began on Feb. 1.

"The solidarity and discipline of members of UAW Local 2069 is what made this agreement possible," said UAW Vice President General Holiefield, who directs the union's Heavy Truck Department.

Details of the agreement will be provided to union members prior to a ratification vote.
