International Reports Accord with UAW
International Truck and Engine Corp. and the United Auto Workers union have reached tentative agreement on new three-year labor contracts, International said Wednesday.
The pending accord is subject to ratification by UAW members at affected International facilities. Voting will likely take place this weekend, International said, and if ratified, the new contracts would replace the five-year agreements that expired on Oct. 1.
International, a unit of Navistar International Corp., said it would not release details of the agreement prior to completion of the ratification vote.
The UAW represents about 3,700 employees at nine International facilities in Indianapolis (engine assembly and foundry); Melrose Park, Ill. (engine assembly and engine engineering); Springfield, Ohio (truck assembly); Atlanta, York, Pa., and Dallas (parts distribution centers); and Fort Wayne, Ind. (truck engineering).
