More than 1,000 workers at CNH Industrial plants in Wisconsin and Iowa went on strike Monday in search of a better deal with the company that makes agriculture and construction equipment.
The United Auto Workers union said the strike began at noon.
This action follows a spate of strikes in the past year, including a high-profile month-long strike at Deere & Co. that resulted in 10% raises and improved benefits for 10,000 UAW workers.
The company said in a statement that it is disappointed it couldn't reach an agreement with the union, and it remains committed to the bargaining process.
