Fayetteville Goodyear plant protected from closure

FAYETTEVILLE Union members on Tuesday received a summary of the deal reached with the Akron, Ohio-based tire maker on Aug. 30. The union says a ratification vote is expected to be completed by Sept. 18.

According to the Steelworkers, the contract maintains minimum staffing levels at plants in Fayetteville, Akron; Buffalo, N.Y.; Danville, Va.; Gadsden, Ala.; and Topeka, Kan.

The union did not list a seventh factory, in Union City, Tenn. But a union official told the Cleveland Plain Dealer that workers at that plant may negotiate their own guarantee.
