After a strike lasting nearly 3 months, 14,000 members of the United Steelworkers union who work for Goodyear Tire & Rubber have approved a new contract with the company by a 2-1 margin. The workers have been concerned about the retiree health program and the possible closing of a plant in Tyler, Texas. The company wanted a deal which will help it cut costs and remain “competitive” in the global economy.
