MILWAUKEE — Harley-Davidson Inc. and union leaders have reached an agreement aimed at inducing the motorcycle manufacturer to undertake a $120 million expansion in the area, according to union officials.


Jim Wheiland, president of Local 2-209 of the United Steelworkers, said Monday the new proposal includes a two-tier wage system for newly hired employees, but with smaller gaps than in an agreement rejected last month by local members.


The union will vote on the new agreement next week.
