"UE and Wabtec Resolve Strike at Erie Locomotive Plant with Tentative Agreement"
After a two-month strike, the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America (UE) and Wabtec Corp. have reached a tentative agreement at the Erie locomotive plant. The agreement includes wage increases, improvements to the grievance process, enhanced holidays and personal days for new employees, and a transition to Wabtec's standard employee benefits. The union membership will vote on the agreement, which maintains a 10-year progressive wage scale and provides wage increases for all employees.
