Collective bargaining agreements
As of July 17, 2025, approximately 30% of our employees are parties to collective bargaining agreements with terms that we believe are typical for the industry in which we operate. Most of the union workers at our facilities are represented under contracts that expire at various times over the next several years. Of the hourly employees who are represented by these contracts, 65% are party to a collective bargaining agreement scheduled to expire over the course of the next 12 months. As the agreements expire, we believe they will be renegotiated on terms satisfactory to the parties. For more details, see our 2025 10-K.
