Agreement reached at Bridgestone/Firestone
After three days of intense negotiations, the Steel
Workers locals representing more than 8,000 workers at
Bridgestone/Firestone reached tentative agreements with the
company early on Sept. 4.
The contract, if ratified, will cover all nine of the
company's plants in the United States. Preliminary reports
indicate it includes 12- to 25-percent wage and pension
increases, better heath care and other insurance benefits, as
well as improvements in grievance and arbitration
procedures.
