Accuride Corp. has successfully reached a four-year collective bargaining agreement with its local UAW. The local 1186 represents 209 hourly associates at Accuride’s aluminum wheel manufacturing facility in Erie, Pa.
The union’s existing agreement was entered into in August 2010 and will expire at midnight on Sept. 3, 2014. The new agreement is effective Sept. 4, 2014 through Sept. 3, 2018.
“Accuride is extremely pleased to have amicably reached a new agreement at Erie – well ahead of schedule – that will provide continued stability and competitiveness for our industry-leading aluminum-wheel production facility,” said Rick Dauch, Accuride president and CEO. “The agreement follows our three-year investment in new production equipment and processes that have enabled the Erie plant to achieve world-class operating standards and provides flexibility to meet increasing customer demand as the North American commercial vehicle industry recovery continues.”
