Following votes taken yesterday, UFCW Local 400 members working at the Solenis Tablet Plant (formerly Clearon) in Charleston, W.Va. unanimously ratified a new wage scale with significant increases for all employees.
The agreement covers 72 workers and includes a 42.8% wage increase across the board, followed by 2.5% raises every year for the following three years.
“We were pleased to reach an agreement to provide these much-needed pay raises,” said UFCW Local 400 President Mark Federici, “and we are particularly proud that the increases apply to every employee up and down the pay scale.”
The plant produces chemical tablets for residential and commercial applications including water treatment, disinfection, and sanitization. Solenis purchased the facility from Clearon in September 2022.
