July 19, 2006
Category: North America
(Akron/Tire Review) As expected, the United Steelworkers and Goodyear agreed yesterday to extend their current master contract on a day-to-day basis beyond the July 22 expiration date. Either side can cancel the extension with 72-hour notice.
As the USW tagged Michelin North America as the target for a pattern agreement, the union wanted to see how those contract negotiations played out. However, contract talks between Goodyear and the USW – and presumably between Bridgestone/Firestone and the union – will continue.
