Harvester and Union Agree on Wage Increases
International Harvester and CIO United Auto Workers announced a wage settlement affecting about 5,000 of 40,000 employees across 11 plants including Auburn New York East Moline Farmall Rock Island Richmond and four Chicago sites. Raises range 16 to 27 cents per hour plus a 2.7 percent shift. Retroactive to April 28 in most plants with Louisville and Canton dates varying. The deal freezes rates for the contract duration and mirrors a fair job-based structure. A strike at Rock Falls Indiana will trigger retroactive application once resolved.
