Tentative settlement at Bluegrass Station Army Depot

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service says a tentative settlement has been reached in a labor dispute at the Bluegrass Station Army Depot south of Lexington.

The service said in a statement on Monday that federal mediators helped produce the proposed agreement between the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local 219 and AllSource Global Management. It ends a work stoppage that began on Oct. 1.

The Lexington Herald-Leader reported at the time that workers were being asked to take at least a 30 percent pay cut.

The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service declined to comment on terms of the proposed agreement, but said it is subject to ratification.

The facility provides supplies for U.S. Army Special Forces.
