KOHLER, Wis. (AP) — Talks have been resumed between the Kohler Company and the union that’s been on strike for nearly three weeks in Wisconsin. Tim Tayloe, president of Local 833 of the United Auto Workers, said in a text message Friday that the union and the company will meet again this week. A Kohler representative confirmed that negotiations have resumed. Local 833 represents about 2,000 workers at Kohler’s kitchen and bath-ware plant in the Village of Kohler and at a generator factory north of Sheboygan. The union went on strike Nov. 15. The union wants to do away with a two-tiered pay scale that it says unfairly limits new employees to roughly $13 an hour. Kohler has said its contract offer was fair.
