Workers at York County's Harley-Davidson plant approved a
new collective bargaining agreement with the company Monday that will take
effect Feb. 1.
The agreement replaces the current agreement, which was
scheduled to expire in February 2017, and extends it to October 2022.
It covers about 970 employees at the Springettsbury
Township assembly plant who are represented by the International Association of
Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local 175.
"Our York employees play an important role in
ensuring the strength of our manufacturing operations and our ability to be
responsive to our customers globally, and we appreciate their many
contributions," Michelle Kumbier, Harley-Davidson's senior vice president
of motor company product and operations, said in a news release."We
believe the new contract is competitive while continuing to provide a stable
production environment as we focus on managing the business for long-term
success."
The agreement includes wage increases in each year of the
contract and maintains the company's flexible manufacturing model, the company
said.
Harley trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the
ticker symbol HOG.
