The five-year contract secures stronger job protections, offsets nearly 40% healthcare cost increases with $3,500 cash payments, and grants more personal and vacation time, union leaders said.
- On Friday, United Auto Workers Local 647 reached a tentative agreement with GE Aerospace covering employees at Evendale, Ohio, and Erlanger, Kentucky plants.

- UAW Local 647's bargaining committee said the tentative five-year agreement includes additional personal time off, vacation increases, a minimum workforce guarantee, $3,500 cash payments, and no changes to grievance or strike language.
- A ratification vote is scheduled for September 19, and until then, union members will maintain picket lines and continue their strike duties.
- The deal affects about 640 UAW members at the Evendale site and Erlanger operation, which are key to GE's supply chain, out of around 9,000 in the Greater Cincinnati area, mirroring a broader aerospace union surge.
