Top locomotive manufacturer, union reach tentative agreement
Fox News
Pittsburgh-based locomotive manufacturer Wabtec has reached a tentative agreement with nearly 1,400 employees who have spent the last two months on strike.
The tentative agreement also maintains a two-tier wage system at the Erie plant that allows the company to pay new hires less money and gradually raises their pay to match those of so-called legacy employees, according to the Wabtec statement.
The deal includes successive hourly wage increases of at least 3% upon ratification and in each of the coming three years and a $1,500 lump sum ratification bonus.
