FAIRFIELD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Union officials informed GE that voting by members of the IUE-CWA and the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America (UE) was completed today, and that the national agreements have been ratified.
GE Vice President Greg Capito said, "This ‘yes’ vote is good news for GE, the unions, our employees and ultimately, our customers. We are gratified that our represented employees have solidly backed this contract that provides an excellent GE job package, while helping the company to continue to succeed.”
