Kohler Demands 5 Year Wage Freeze

Also Demands 35 Percent Lower Pay With No Health Care For New Hires

The Kohler Company in Wisconsin may become the most recent company to install a two-tiered wage system. Kohler is in contract negotiations with the United Auto Workers and is asking that new employees and workers recalled from layoffs be paid at a rate nearly 35 percent less than current workers and not receive health care benefits. The company has also asked union members to accept a five-year wage freeze.

From SEPAC: Remember this type of "EMPLOYER" action when you go to the polls on November 2nd. WE NEED WORKER-FRIENDLY ELECTED OFFICIALS!
