BUENA VISTA TWP, MI — Members of UAW Local 699 have rejected a tentative agreement between the union and Nexteer Automotive.
Union leadership posted the results of the membership’s Thursday, Feb. 25, vote on the UAW Local 699 Facebook page. The results were 14% “yes” votes and 85% “no” votes.
“Yes, the United Auto Worker (UAW) members voted down the tentative five-year agreement previously reached by Nexteer management and the UAW bargaining committee. The tentative agreement was presented to the UAW Local #699 members through a series of communications meetings prior to the ratification vote,” said Nexteer’s Dennis Hoeg, vice president and North America Division president. “Nexteer management and UAW partners will reconvene to address open items and reach a timely agreement that builds a strong, sustainable future for our Saginaw employees and Nexteer.”
