Union approves contract with KC manufacturer
November 24, 2012
(KANSAS CITY, Mo., AP) — Union steelworkers will be back on the job at a Kansas City manufacturing plant next week after approving a new contract.
The two sides reached a tentative agreement Wednesday, and the company says union members ratified the new contract in a vote early Friday. A federal mediator had been brought in to help resolve the standoff.
Terms of the new contract were not disclosed. Both sides had said increases in employee contributions to health insurance costs were the main sticking point.
