June 13, 2006 – IAM members at Local 898 at Vance Air Force Base near Enid, OK ratified a new three-year agreement. The members work for Computer Sciences Corporation and Trend Western, two of the base’s primary contractors.

“Our members won a good contract with some increases in wages, pensions and some of the benefits,” said District 171 President and DBR Jerry McCune. “We got enough that we believe it is a good, livable contract. We’re looking forward to three years of stability at the base, working on planes and making pilots.”
