UAW and BMW-RDC Reach Tentative Agreement

DEAL REACHED!

Your Bargaining Committee is pleased to report that it has reached a Tentative Agreement on a successor contract between the UAW and BMW-RDC. In the next week or so you will receive the details of the new contract, including a report on all of the provisions as well as access to copies of each and every component of the new deal.

 
Here are some of the highlights:

NO CONCESSIONS! We held firm and refused to consider any of the concessions the Company was demanding. It is fair to say that for the first time at the bargaining table, this was not a “give and take”—we just took.

BIG WAGE INCREASES. If ratified, on July 1, 2024, everyone with more than two years with the Company will move to over $24.00 in pay (that’s an eleven percent (11%) increase), and then a 4.5% increase in year two, 4.6% increase in year three, and 4.62% increases in both years four and five. In all, workers will see a 33.58% total wage increase over the life of the contract.

$2,500 RATIFICATION BONUS.

THE END OF TIERS. At the last minute, because of your support and standing strong, the Company relented and agreed to end tiers in wages.  By the end of this contract, everyone will be making Tier One wages.

MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS IN TIME OFF POLICIES, UNIFORM POLICY, OVERTIME EXEMPTIONS, and ATTENDANCE POLICY.

AND MUCH MORE.

Details are on their way, including the date and time for ratification meetings, at which all of your questions will be answered.

The bargaining committee thanks each and every bargaining unit member for your strong support through this process.

Because we STOOD STRONG we made MAJOR GAINS.
