UAW, Mack Trucks agree tentative deal, suspend two-week strike

(Reuters) - United Auto Workers (UAW) suspended a two-week-long strike after reaching a tentative deal with Volvo's (ST:VOLVb) Mack Trucks on Thursday, both parties said.

More than 3,600 union members working at Mack across the United States began the strike this month, in a bid to negotiate new terms.

"UAW members at Mack have achieved significant gains toward fair pay, benefits and job security protections," the union said in a statement, without disclosing details.
