Vectren Energy Delivery of Ohio

union employees ratify new labor agreement

Dayton, Ohio - Utility Workers Union of America (UWUA) Local 175 voted Thursday to ratify a new three-year contract for its Vectren Energy Delivery of Ohio (Vectren) employee-members. UWUA Local 175 represents nearly 150 of Vectren’s natural gas employees in the greater Dayton area.

The previous contract, which was originally set to expire Oct. 31, 2009, expired Nov. 10, 2009, after a short-term extension.

"Productive dialogue earlier this month led both parties to a mutually acceptable resolution” said Dan Berry, president of Vectren Energy Delivery of Ohio. "We very much appreciate the patience of our Ohio workforce, both union and management, who faithfully performed their jobs after the contract expired. The endorsed contract ensures this skilled, dedicated workforce will continue providing safe, reliable natural gas to our customers in west central Ohio."

The tentative agreement was finalized with union leadership April 14 and ratified by employee-members Thursday, April 22.

Vectren delivers natural gas to approximately 317,000 customers in all or portions of Auglaize, Butler, Champaign, Clark, Clinton, Darke, Fayette, Greene, Highland, Logan, Madison, Miami, Montgomery, Pickaway, Preble, Shelby and Warren counties.
