Pratt & Whitney AutoAir Members Sign New Accord

Members at Local 2184 in Lansing, MI have voted overwhelming to ratify a new three- year contract with Pratt & Whitney AutoAir. The agreement guarantees wage increases of 3.5 percent in the first two years and a 3.25 percent increase in the third year, as well as a $2,500 signing bonus.

Other improvements for the more than 170 members include increases in pension contributions to the IAM National Pension Plan over the life of the agreement and the removal of two-tier language.

“The bargaining committee stood strong through a long and difficult negotiating process,” said IAM Eastern GVP Lynn Tucker. “This agreement and the ratification results are proof of that. “Our thanks to IAM Aerospace Coordinator Frank Santos for his assistance in these negotiations, and congratulations to District 60 Business Representative Stacey Arnold and the entire bargaining committee."
