Sept 12 (Reuters) - Members of the United Auto Workers
union at GE Aerospace's Evendale, Ohio, and Erlanger,
Kentucky, facilities have reached a tentative agreement with the
company, the union said on Friday.
"Members will vote on ratification on September 19, and
until then, all picket lines will continue," UAW said in a post
on X.
In late August, over 600 workers from the union went on a
strike after failing to reach a new contract agreement with the
company.
The strike marked the latest flashpoint of a broader
wave of labor actions across the aerospace and aviation
industries, where unions have sought to leverage demand for
skilled workers into better contracts.
Pilots, flight attendants, machinists and engineers have
all pushed for higher pay and tougher job protections in recent
years.
GE's Evendale plant builds marine and industrial engines
for the U.S. Navy, while the Erlanger facility supplies parts to
some of the company's engine plants.
GE did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
