This excerpt taken from the TWI 8-K filed Dec 14, 2006. Employees
At December 31, 2005, we employed approximately 1,800
people in the United States. Approximately 27% of our employees
in the United States were covered by a collective bargaining
agreement. In December 2005, the workers at the Des Moines
facility ratified a labor extension through November 2010. The
Natchez facility is covered by a second collective bargaining
agreement to expire in December 2006; however, this facility was
idled in 2001 and currently has no employees. In January 2006,
we gained approximately 800 employees at the Freeport facility,
which was a part of the Goodyear North American farm tire
acquisition. The workers at the Freeport facility ratified a new
labor agreement with a November 2010 expiration date. In July
2006 we gained approximately 350 employees at the Bryan
facility, which was a part of the Continental acquisition. We
believe employee relations are generally good.
