Hubbell Lighting has reached a contract agreement with its unionized workers in Christiansburg, ending a monthslong stalemate and weeks of picketing.
Penny Franklin, president of IUE-CWA Local 82160, said the company didn’t make many concessions and she’s not fully satisfied with the result of the negotiations. But she’s ready to move on.
A Hubbell representative couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.
The union had taken issue with Hubbell’s plan to switch from employee pensions to 401(k) retirement accounts.
