Members of IUE/CWA Local 717 at Delphi Packard today approved a five-year work agreement that includes annual raises or bonuses for all union employees.

Ed Salus, Local 717 president, said 62 percent of the membership voted in favor of the new contract and 38 percent voted against it. He said 542 of Local 717’s 668 members voted.

Salus said the contract provides significant gains in economics and language while recognizing the delicate balance required to maintain job security; and it eliminates the three-tiered wage system in favor of a seniority-based wage system.
