CINCINNATI (WXIX) - United Auto Workers Local 647 and members at General Electric Aerospace reached a tentative agreement on Friday, seemingly ending a strike that has been ongoing for two weeks.
UAW Local 647 President Brian Strunk released a statement after the agreement was reached, stating that while there were concessions, the agreement is a step forward for job security and health care.
“This has been a long and difficult road, but I am proud of the solidarity our members have shown. Like David standing against Goliath, we stood firm under pressure and refused to back down. That unity delivered real gains: stronger job security for Erlanger, a five-year agreement, new work secured for our future, better health care and cost offsets, and more time off for our families.
