Dive Summary:
- After experiencing problems for months, Pepco and its union workers have reportedly come to a tentative contract agreement that will likely prevent a stike.
- The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 1900 will have to vote to approve the new contract, though a message on its website Sunday night indicated that a tentative agreement on a four-year contract had been reached after a full day of negotiations.
- The union rejected a previous offer from Pepco in September.
From the article:
"... Union President James A. Griffin says the union leadership is recommending that members vote to approve the contract. Previously he said his biggest concern was a proposed change to the workers’ health and welfare plans.
The company and union were at an impasse for months. The company’s previous offer was rejected last month. ..."
