Armco employees reject wage contract in late vote
Members of the Armco Employes Independent Federation vote 2,282 against ratification and 1,920 for, with 4,202 ballots cast since voting began two weeks ago. AEIF President Carmel Mathis notes that the contract negotiated in 1975 remains in effect until Aug. 1 and that the company must determine new terms. Time to Fight members opposed seniority changes and a thrift plan, arguing the vote validates their stance. Mathis says an unratified result would have meant no inherent wage gain, though a $200 bonus was part of the Customer Assurance Plan. There are 6,200 AEIF voting members.
