Item 8.01. Other Events
On August 25, 2006, Tower Automotive, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the ratification of revised collective bargaining agreements with the United Auto Workers union and the United Steelworkers union covering hourly employees at Tower Automotive’s Bluffton, Ohio and Elkton Michigan facilities, as well as a contract extension and severance agreement at the Company’s Clinton, Michigan and Milan, Tennessee facilities respectively. The tentative agreement previously announced on July 19, 2006 covered hourly employees at nine of Tower Automotive’s North American facilities, but was subsequently modified to govern only the four facilities that ratified the agreement. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court overseeing the Company’s Chapter 11 case must still approve the agreement.
