Teamsters Strike Continues as Union Members at BorgWarner Vote Down Tentative Agreement

BorgWarner union members voted down a tentative agreement

Members of Teamsters Local 20 voted down a tentative agreement with BorgWarner on Monday, continuing a strike that began on October 1.

The tentative agreement included a 12% wage increase over four years and a $3,000 signing bonus. However, members voted it down by a margin of 53% to 47%.

The strike is ongoing

The union said in a statement that the strike will continue until a fair agreement is reached.

BorgWarner has said that it is "disappointed" with the vote and that it remains committed to reaching an agreement with the union.

The strike has had a significant impact on BorgWarner's operations

The strike has idled BorgWarner's plants in Muncie, Indiana, and Decatur, Illinois, and has disrupted the company's supply chain.

BorgWarner is a major supplier of automotive parts to General Motors, Ford, and other automakers.

The strike is the latest in a series of labor disputes in the auto industry

In recent months, workers at General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis have all gone on strike for better wages and working conditions.

The strikes have highlighted the growing power of unions in the auto industry and the challenges facing automakers as they try to control costs.
