The four-year deal covers about 8,000 workers at its six U.S. plants.

The agreement provides Goodyear with flexibility to reduce staffing and continues medical-benefit cost sharing.

Wages and benefits remain in line with the prior agreement. The contract protects Goodyear against strikes over its four-year term, but it also protects workers against closures at the six plants.

Goodyear Tire & Rubber is still a buy.
