Thursday morning statement from the UAW:
Over 10,000 employees of farming equipment manufacturer John Deere went on strike Thursday morning after failing to come to an agreement on a deal regarding pay raises.
John Deere workers walked off the job after the United Auto Workers union failed to negotiate a six-year contract with the tractor maker.
The now-rejected offer would have given 5% wage hikes for some workers and 6% for some others. The proposed deal had also called for 3% raises in 2023 and 2025.
John Deere will use nonunion workers to keep operations going while union workers from 14 plants across the country are on strike.
