Members of UAW Local 833 voted today to approve a new four-year labor contract with Kohler Co.
The contract covers 2,000 Kohler Co. workers, and ends a strike that began in mid-November, the first at the company since 1983.
Union employees at Kohler Co. will return to work tomorrow.
“We are pleased that our associates have ratified a contract that provides them with increased pay, enhanced benefits and a fair compensation package,” said Kohler Co. president David Kohler. “Kohler Co. maintains a competitive wage structure that is essential for our Wisconsin facility to grow jobs going forward. Most important, we welcome our associates back to work, where together, we will continue to work hard to exceed our customers’ expectations.”
