UAW Members at Detroit Axle Ratify Contract

REDFORD, MI — UAW members at Detroit Axle voted by 84% on Saturday to ratify a new collective bargaining agreement with Daimler Truck of North America. The contract covers more than 400 workers at Daimler Trucks’ Detroit Axle facility in Redford, which builds axles and transmissions.

The agreement secures profit-sharing and Cost-of-Living (COLA) benefits for the first time at Detroit Axle. Additionally, the agreement will raise wages for some workers by as much as 50% through the life of the agreement.

“I would like to congratulate the hardworking membership and bargaining committee at Detroit Axle on this major win. This agreement brings long overdue financial gains for our membership at Detroit Axle,” said Laura Dickerson, UAW Region 1A Director. “UAW members in Region 1A are showing that corporate greed is no match for working people. When we stand together, we win!”

“We were prepared to use every tool in the toolbox to win this contract. We were informed, wore red shirts on Wednesdays to show our unity, and ultimately voted 99% to authorize a strike,” said Mike Stack, a second shift skilled trades worker at Detroit Axle. “Daimler knew they had to do right by the people who make their profits day in and day out.”
