Tentative deal struck for Cooper Tire workers

Officers with the Steelworkers 752L union with Cooper Tire in Texarkana struck a tentative agreement with administrators at Cooper Tire headquarters in Findlay, Ohio late last night. The deal extends the negotiations deadline in an effort to hammer out details of the agreement and to get the agreement ratified by the 1,500 steelworkers at the Texarkana plant over the weekend. The previous contract expired at midnight last night, making this week's negotiations crucial.
