IAM Local 912 members in the Cincinnati area have voted on to accept a new five-year agreement with General Electric Aerospace.
The deal provides stability for nearly 600 members by improving and maintaining the defined benefit pension plan and building on the retirement savings plan. Additionally, the new agreement offers increased vacation time and improvements to sick leave.
The negotiating committee worked hard and secured annual wage increases of 5%, 5%, 3%, 3% and 3.5%.
The bargaining committee also negotiated job security and secured GE’s commitment to increasing the current bargaining unit staffing levels. Other improvements include increased personal protection equipment allowances, disability benefits, vision benefit enhancements, retiree benefits, and much more.
“The success of these negotiations was due partly to our strong commitment to GE Aerospace and our dedication to our historical relationship,” said IAM Collective Bargaining Director and lead negotiator Craig Norman. “This agreement provides stability for the membership and the company, which is needed to move the GE facility forward. Our members and bargaining committee stood in proper united form — ensuring they could bring worthy acceptance to the membership.”
“Local 912 has such a strong and dedicated history with GE,” said IAM Eastern Territory General Vice President David Sullivan. “The negotiating committee secured a firm contract because our committee and membership stood together. I am proud of the work and commitment of our membership.”
“Congratulations to IAM Local 912 on securing an agreement that provides future job security,” said IAM International President Brian Bryant. “From the membership to the local leadership, and all those who provided critical support, job well done!”
