Trane Worker Reject Contract Offer, Get Set To Go On Strike

Union members working at the Trane Company plants in La Crosse have rejected the latest contract offer.  The Saturday vote means about 470 production and maintenance workers at one location and 12 tool-and-die makers at the second are going on strike.  More negotiations are scheduled and union leadership is hopeful a deal can be reached.  The workers who voted say they had doubts about both the wages and benefits listed in the company’s final offer.
