Rejected
Local 494 of the United Auto Workers rejected a contract proposal Friday, a move which is likely to lead to the closing of Union City Body Company.
The contract was rejected by a vote of 211 to 183.
Parent company Grand Vehicle Works issued a statement after the vote, saying, “We see no reason to change our current plan of closing Union City Body Company.”
No. 1
Mercer County ranked first in farm income in Ohio for 2002, according to the Ohio Agricultural Statistics Service.
Preliminary figures for 2002, the most recent available, show Mercer County with $254,348,000 in total farm income. Livestock receipts were the key, with Mercer County first in hogs and poultry.
Darke County ranked first in corn and soybean income.
