Roxanne White strongly believes the latest contract short changes new hires in terms of health care coverage.
It was that very argument, along with low wages, that led hourly workers to reject the company's previous contract offer roughly two weeks ago.
However, many workers have reconsidered their position.
The new contract apparently includes some revisions in terms of health care for new employees.
Workers are also well aware that their vote could make or break a deal Volvo is working on with the state to bring 13-hundred new jobs to the truck plant.
When the previous contract was rejected, Volvo officials threatened to pull out of the deal unless workers had a change of heart.
