DETROIT, June 10 (Reuters) - The United Auto Workers has reached a deal with axle supplier Dauch Corp DCH.N after a 10-day strike against the company at its Three Rivers, Michigan, plant, union President Shawn Fain said on Wednesday. 
Dauch, formerly known as American Axle, supplies axles to General Motors' GM.N full-size and midsize trucks from the plant. 
Members of UAW Local 2093 will soon vote on the new agreement with the company that includes a top wage rate of $30 per hour by 2030, a more than 36% increase in four years, said Josh Jager, bargaining chairman ⁠for Local 2093.
The strike will continue until the contract is ratified, the UAW said.
Workers at the Dauch plant in 2008 agreed to accept lower wages. Since ⁠then, the ​top wage has increased by $4 ​to $22 per hour, Jager said.
A Dauch spokesperson said in a statement: "We appreciate the efforts of both the UAW and Dauch labor negotiations teams to find common ground."
