Harley to meet with union on Wednesday
Published February 13, 2007 - BizTimes Daily
Harley-Davidson Inc. officials and representatives of striking union workers in York, Pa., will meet on Wednesday in another attempt to negotiate through a stalemate that has prompted the company to lay off more than 440 workers in Wisconsin so far this week.
Tom Boger, business representative for the workers, told the Central Penn Business Journal that no mediators will be present at Wednesday's meeting.
The company and the union representatives met twice last week with federal mediators, to no avail.
The roughly 2,750 striking members of International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local Lodge 175 in York are in their first week without company-paid health or life insurance benefits.
The union went on strike after the company's contract offer included lower wages for new hires and asked that employees pay for some of the costs of their health care benefits.
