TYLER, Texas ( KETK ) – Workers from Tyler’s largest union, IUE-CWA 86782, held an informational picket at their union hall across from the Trane Technologies plant on Monday.
“We worked during COVID and were deemed “essential workers” but didn’t receive essential pay. COVID alone caused the inflation to go up 9% and we just want our wages to be able to keep up with the cost of living,” said Zhane.
This informational picket is not a strike. It’s a membership drive and an opportunity for union members to use their own time to spread the word about what they want from the company without having to stop working.
Trane Technologies shared the following statement with KETK:
The current union contract at Trane Technologies’ Trane facility in Tyler, Texas, will expire on May 18, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. Our team is committed to working through the negotiations process with union representatives so that we can reach a fair and mutually beneficial contract agreement.”
