Oshkosh, the parent company of JLG, has resolved the dispute over contracts with its union without work schedules being disrupted at the company.
The union, UAW Local 578, had rejected the original five-year contract proposal, which would have been implemented when the preceding agreement expired on 30 September 2011. Since then Oshkosh and the union have been in negotiation and a second proposal was rejected before an agreement finally being made on 15 October.
Oshkosh has not released details of the contract although it is understood that the sticking points were "non-monetary". Throughout negotiations the production team has continued to work their normal schedules and there has been no interruption in production.
