In negotiations with ThyssenKrupp, we have reached a tentative agreement. Even though negotiations went into the early hours of the morning, all meetings were conducted in a courteous and professional manner.

No details will be posted at this time due to the fact that we are entering negotiations with Otis, Schindler and Kone in the next few weeks.

We are tentatively planning to hold a late May, early June ratification meeting and vote. Copies of all tentative agreements will be distributed to the local unions prior to that meeting for their review. We cannot publish tentative agreements prior to delegate ratification as outlined in the International Constitution and By-Laws.

We will keep you abreast of any further updates and changes as they occur.

Local Union Business Agents may access the secured site to retrieve the most sensitive and up-to-date information and filter this information to their local union membership. IUEC members should contact their local business agent for an update.
