UAW Strikes GE Aerospace Plants Ohio, Kentucky Return To Negotiations

Over 600 United Auto Workers members are striking at General Electric Aerospace’s Evendale and Erlanger plants, demanding better healthcare, job security, and more time off following the expiration of their contract. Both sides have recently returned to the negotiating table after a two-week stalemate, with progress reportedly made though key issues remain unresolved. GE Aerospace emphasizes its commitment to collaborative bargaining and aims to reach a mutually beneficial agreement recognizing the contributions of its 640 UAW-represented employees. Meanwhile, GE has successfully reached a separate five-year contract with the union representing security staff at the Evendale plant. Despite the strike, GE Aerospace reports continuing normal productivity levels at the affected locations. The union has stated that all picket lines will continue until a tentative agreement is ratified by the membership.
