"Union Workers Rally and Present Strike Settlement Proposal at Wabtec Headquarters"

Union workers from the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America staged a rally at Wabtec's headquarters in Pittsburgh during their ongoing labor strike. The workers, representing 1,400 employees at Wabtec's Erie facility, are demanding higher wages in the progression tier system and a cap on healthcare payments. Negotiations have not resulted in a bargaining agreement, with the union accusing the company of dismissing their grievances. Wabtec expressed willingness to work with the union but emphasized the need for competitiveness in the agreement.
