New Flyer Workers in Alabama Unionize with CWA, Secure 25-38% Pay Raise and Expanded Benefits

May 17, 2024, 08:22 PM

Workers at New Flyer's EV bus plants, including 600 in Anniston, Alabama, have successfully unionized with the Communications Workers of America (CWA) and ratified a contract that will increase most workers' pay by 25-38%. The contract also restricts forced overtime and expands paid time off to include more parental leave and a Juneteenth holiday. This development, involving 1200 workers, is part of a broader labor movement in the US South, where unionization efforts are gaining momentum in traditionally union-scarce regions.
