UAW Votes for American Axle Agreement

ABOUT EIGHTY PERCENT OF THE NEARLY 600 MEMBERS OF THE UNITED AUTO WORKERS FROM THE LOCAL AMERICAN AXLE PLANTS HAVE VOTED IN FAVOR OF A NEW CONTRACT. UNDER THE AGREEMENT THE TONAWANDA FORGE PLANT WILL CLOSE WITHIN A YEAR, LEAVING ONLY THE CHEEKTOWAGA MACHINING PLANT OPEN HERE. AMERICAN AXLE WORKERS IN DETROIT WON'T VOTE UNTIL TOMORROW.
