The United Auto Workers announced today that UAW members at CNH Industrial’s Racine facility have reached a tentative agreement with the company on a new five-year contract covering approximately 300 members.
The Racine plant manufactures Case IH Magnum high-horsepower tractors and plays a critical role in agricultural equipment production in the United States.
“This tentative agreement reflects the strength and solidarity of our members in Racine,” said UAW Vice President Laura Dickerson, Ag/Imp Department Director. “Workers stood together to win meaningful wage increases, improvements in health and safety protections, stronger retirement benefits, and commitments that help secure the future of this plant and the jobs it supports.”
In addition to stronger job security language, the tentative agreement includes major economic gains for both production and skilled trades workers, including 22% general wage increases for production employees and 29% general wage increases for skilled trades employees over the life of the five-year agreement. The deal also includes significant health and safety language improvements, healthcare enhancements, and improvements to retirement benefits.
The tentative agreement will now be presented to the membership for review and ratification voting.
