Goodyear, Steelworkers get tentative national agreement hours before contract expiration
Source: WZTV

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Thousands of workers at Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. plants in seven states -- including Tennessee -- will vote in the coming days on a tentative national contract agreement.

The United Steelworkers of America and the company reached the deal Saturday night about three hours before a midnight deadline for the expiration of the old three-year contract, which had been extended twice.

The union says rank-and-file members will be briefed on the new contract and ratification votes will be scheduled at all plants.
