Union Votes To Take Pay Cut At Geneva Can Shops
Union workers at American Can Company's machine shops in Geneva New York voted to accept a 25 cent per hour wage reduction instead of a 12 cent rise that would have begun the third year of a three year contract. The International Association of Machinists reportedly supported the cut to avoid plant closure in a city already hit by factory shutdowns. The shops, established in 1901, produce automated equipment for can manufacturing and filling.
