UAW Members at Detroit Axle Vote 99% in Favor of Authorizing Strike

UAW Wheel logo

DETROIT, MI — On Wednesday, January 15th, over 400 Daimler Truck North America workers at Detroit Axle voted by a resounding 99% to authorize a strike if necessary.

“This overwhelming vote shows we are no longer content with the crumbs from Daimler’s pie,” said Zachary Harper, a committeeperson at Detroit Axle. “This vote makes it plain: we are united – and when we fight together, we win. Tick Tock.”

The vote at Detroit Axle comes after major victories for other UAW members at Daimler Truck. In 2024, UAW members at Freightliner Trucks, Western Star Trucks, and Thomas Built Buses won major gains, including raises of more than 25%, and the introduction of profit-sharing and Cost-of-Living (COLA) for the first time at Daimler.

“Since 2020, Daimler has seen over $17 billion in profits”, said Laura Dickerson, UAW Region 1A Director. “Daimler can afford to provide UAW members at Detroit Axle what every worker deserves: pay that keeps up with inflation, a safe workplace, and a secure retirement. If it takes a fight to win that, our members are ready.”

Detroit Axle workers join other UAW members standing up to corporate greed. Currently, more than 4,000 members at Volkswagen are campaigning for a first contract in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
