CINCINNATI — Reuters has reported that the United Steelworkers broke off contract talks with Goodyear on Friday.
The USW informed its members that its negotiating team was leaving Cincinnati site of the Goodyear/USW master contract talks and that no new negotiations had been scheduled.
"We will go back when the company has something new to show us," USW spokesman Wayne Ranick said in the Reuters report. Goodyear, for its part, said that its negotiating team would remain in Cincinnati and stood ready to continue bargaining for a new master contract.
Some 17,000 workers have been on strike at 16 North American Goodyear plants since Oct. 5. The two sides got back to the bargaining table earlier this week.
