Eight of 14 union locals representing Akron-based Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. employees have ratified a proposed 3-year contract, all by wide margins, a union spokesman said. Having a majority of the 14 United Steelworkers locals approve the contract is one requirement for ratification. The other is a majority of the total votes cast. The union declined to release vote totals but expects to announce official results next week, spokesman Wayne Ranick said.þþ
