(Moline, IL) — As the strike at a dozen John Deere plants in the Midwest enters its second month, union workers are scheduled to vote Wednesday on a modified contract offer from the company. The UAW issued a statement late Friday saying the company had made some changes to its second offer. The union described the tentative agreement as Deere’s last, best, and final offer. Neither side has disclosed details of the changes. The most recent deal was rejected on a 55-to-45 percent vote. More than 10-thousand John Deere employees have been on strike since October 14th.
