York International may scale back a planned base pay cut for about 600 workers at the Elyria plant while negotiations continue with United Steelworkers Local 6985. The company aims to cut base pay from 12.82 to 9.03 per hour while preserving potential higher wages for goal attainment. The union reports progress though officials declined comment. The company also plans to relocate the Source One Parts Depot to Wichita, raising concerns over local tax abatements and job loss.
