United Auto Workers members at GE Aerospace’s Evendale, Ohio and Erlanger, Kentucky facilities reached a tentative agreement with the company, the union said Friday. The pact must be ratified by members before it becomes final and could resolve the recent work action at both sites.

Briefing
The tentative deal removes an immediate risk to GE Aerospace’s production lines — the earlier UAW action at Evendale and Erlanger had been reported to stall engine production and threaten scheduled deliveries (see earlier coverage).
Resolution reduces short-term supply-chain pressure for airframers and military programmes that rely on GE powerplants, helping avoid knock-on delays to aircraft and engine deliveries.
The agreement comes amid broader labour unrest in the sector — ongoing machinist disputes elsewhere have already put fighter and defence deliveries at risk — underscoring the strategic impact of labour negotiations on aerospace production and programme timelines.
