FARGO (KFGO) – Union workers at the Case-New Holland manufacturing plant have overwhelmingly rejected the company’s latest contract offer.
Nearly 700 members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local 2525 turned down the offer. The current contract has been extended to Friday. It was set to expire Sunday, and had been in place for 6 years.
IAM District 5 Directing Business Representative Jeremy Pearson says union members play a crucial role within the company.
“The dedication and contributions of our members form the backbone of this company,” Pearson said. “We stand united in our pursuit of substantial improvements in wages and benefits that accurately reflect their invaluable efforts with economic stability, job security, and a semblance of work-life balance.”
Union members are asking for higher pay, retaining their health care, and job security.
The company has not responded to a request for comment from KFGO News.
