New Flyer Workers Win Again with IUE-CWA

Last week, workers at ARBOC Specialty Vehicles in Middlebury, Ind., overwhelmingly chose to join IUE-CWA. The northern Indiana factory produces specialty and handicap-accessible buses. ARBOC is a wholly owned subsidiary of New Flyer, and the workers at ARBOC join over 1,400 workers represented by IUE-CWA and 1,000 represented by CWA District 7.

Workers had no paid time off (PTO) and a very punishing points system that made sick days and personal or family emergencies almost impossible to navigate. Winning PTO and lowering rising healthcare costs were driving issues in the campaign.

With support from both IUE-CWA and CWA members, these workers will be the fifth New Flyer facility IUE-CWA has organized since August 2022. They will be included in the New Flyer national agreement reached in May of this year.

Congratulations to our latest New Flyer members!
