"I wished there was more money to give to the competitive wage employees," Crittendon said. "There's not any raises for them, or for anyone, and members have to make up their mind. We're dealing with a new owner, they're investing in Appliance Park and giving us an opportunity."

The union has been in negotiations with GE for three months.
