UAW Reaches Tentative Deal With Caterpillar

  The United Auto Workers Union has a tentative deal with Caterpillar.

  

The UAW says it's not releasing terms of the deal until members have a chance to review and vote on it.

 

  The union authorized a strike vote last month as a matter of procedure. But negotiations continued and workers remained on the job after their contract expired on February 28th.

 

UAW Local 974 President Randy Smith says he anticipates having the meeting date and time scheduled by mid-day Thursday.
