Union appeals to GE for payment of scheduled bonus
Source: GoErie
ErIE, Pa. -- GE Transportation's plan to cut 1,500 workers would save the company more than $100 million if the layoff is fully implemented.
The company, which expects to begin layoffs around Jan. 6, could save as much as an additional $3 million if all of those layoffs take place by Jan. 18.
That's a trigger date established by the four-year labor agreement signed this summer by General Electric and members of the United Electrical Radio and Machine Workers of America.
Union members, who received a ratification bonus and cash payment in June, are due to receive another $2,000 each in January, but only if they are employed by the company on Jan. 18.
