UAW workers agree to contracts, ending strike at GE Aerospace

CINCINNATI — The strike is over after UAW workers at GE Aerospace ratified five-year contracts, ending negotiations with the company.

The employees had gone on strike late last month after having failed to reach an agreement on a new contract.

The UAW represents more than 600 employees at facilities near Cincinnati in Evendale, Ohio, and in northern Kentucky. Workers at the Evendale plant build marine and industrial engines for the U.S. Navy.

The contracts are effective through Sept. 15, 2030.

“GE Aerospace is pleased to have agreements that recognize our commitment to our employees and their families in the Greater Cincinnati area,” said Christian Meisner, GE Aerospace Chief Human Resources Officer, in a statement. “With these contracts in place, we look forward to our UAW-represented employees returning to work and resuming normal operations, continuing to deliver for our customers, and driving our shared success.”
