Toledo, Ohio Autoneum Workers Ratify Strong New Contract
Congratulations to RWDSU Local 379 members at Autoneum in Toledo, Ohio! This week, the workers voted overwhelmingly to ratify a strong new three-year agreement. The new contract includes large wage increases and bonuses, along with improved non-economic and vacation language and no increases for company healthcare.
Contract highlights include the addition of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day holiday, an early payout twice a year for vacation time, and reduced time for vacation accrual. Additionally, the company will now provide cold weather gear for employees when they have to perform outside work, and apprentices will receive pay for training while in the classroom. Thank you to the negotiating committee for all your time and effort!

RWDSU members work in a variety of industries, across the entire retail sector from warehouses to e-commerce to brick-and-mortar stores; we work throughout the entire food chain from farm to table including everything in between food processing, distribution and sale; and you can find us in manufacturing, healthcare, service and public sector jobs, across the cannabis sector and at non-profits. You name it, RWDSU members do it. What unites us is simple: we all join together in the fight for dignity and respect at work as one UNION STRONG!
The need for a union voice at work is more critical now than ever before. Workers today are fighting for and winning a union voice with RWDSU in record numbers. With corporations giving workers less and expecting more, workers across every sector are saying enough is enough and securing their seat at the table with strong union contracts.
