The USW has reached a Tentative Agreement with the Timken Company (Bearing) for its members who work at the Gambrinus Roller Plant. The 2017 BLA has been extended to accommodate informational meetings and a ratification vote.
The TA is a 3-year agreement with a $1000 special payment paid 15 days after ratification to active GRP members. This is no wage increase in 2020 but 2% raises in 2021 and 2022. There are increases in insurance co-pays for some Doctor visits and changes to the 401k.
Summaries are being distributed in the plant and are available at the Golden Lodge.
