Parker Hannifin workers approve new pact

YOUNGSTOWN — Union workers at Parker Hannifin’s Gear Pump Division here are getting a raise and will eventually pay more for their health care.

They approved a new contract this afternoon after a vote last week ended in a tie.

In a 77-46 tally, the workers — members of United Steelworkers of America Local 2332 — approved the deal, which will last into January of 2018. Their previous contract expired in February, but the parties had an extension to collectively bargain until the end of this month.
