Harley-Davidson reaches deal to keep jobs in Wisconsin




Harley-Davidson Motor Co. and its union leaders have reached a proposed labor agreement that would keep manufacturing operations in Wisconsin that have 1,340 active employees.

The company declined to reveal Friday the terms of the proposed contract. Spokesman Bob Klein says it includes "competitive" compensation, and it gives the company the flexibility it needs to remain competitive.

Workers are expected to vote on the proposed contract Sept. 13.
