After three weeks on strike, local GE Aerospace workers represented by the UAW have approved a new contract.

UAW Local 647 members at GE Aerospace voted by 82% Friday to ratify the new five-year agreement, according to the union.

“Together we stood like David against Goliath — shoulder to shoulder against a billion-dollar company, refusing to be treated as just numbers,” said UAW Local 647 President Brian Strunk. “We secured job security, more time with our families, and money to offset health care costs.”

The contract includes minimum workforce guarantees to protect jobs, payments to offset health care cost increases and additional personal and vacation time, according to the union.

Employees will return to work at the GE Aerospace facilities in Evendale and Erlanger beginning Sunday
