In Louisville, 5,200 GE Appliance Workers Gear Up for a Fight
labornotes.org
Hundreds of workers who make dishwashers, refrigerators, washers and dryers, and other home appliances at GE Appliances in Louisville, Kentucky, rallied September 14 ahead of contract negotiations. Their contract, covering 5,200 workers, expires at the end of the year. This plant complex, known as Appliance Park, is the only one unionized of nine GE Appliances manufacturing sites across the country and is its global headquarters. The union is part of the industrial division of the Communications Workers; bargaining starts October 14.

    Interesting that they’re still GE appliance when they’re no longer apart of General Electric and are owned by Harier.

    I’m surprised things are that bad in a union plant. I live near a GM auto plant and the waiting list for employment is months or years long due to the compensation they offer. The main reason I don’t work there is I can’t afford to spend years of my life working minimum wage and waiting to be noticed by the Union.
