Local 10-074 Scores Contract Win

By Lynne Hancock, USW Communications, Chemical Solutions writer/editor

(Editor's note: The USW BASF Council discussed this contract win at its annual meeting at the end of July.)

Building power training and solidarity from within the USW BASF Council paid off big last spring when Local 10-074 in Monaca, Pa., ratified a new contract that beat back concessions, increased wages and strengthened contract language.

Drawing on what they’d learned in Building Power training, the bargaining committee circulated three new stickers throughout the 80-person unit for three weeks. Members also signed a solidarity poster, which they placed on a union bulletin board in clear view of members and management alike.

Unit President Wil Lynn consulted with the council in addressing proposed concessions, like changing from an eight- to a 12-hour schedule. With the weight of the council behind them, the unit was able to avoid major give-backs.

The contract also included a 2.95 percent wage increase each year of the six-year contract, improved successorship, union leave and health and safety language, and kept workers’ premium contribution the same.
