Harley again warns that production could leave Wisconsin

Harley-Davidson Inc. expects to decide within weeks whether it will keep factories in Wisconsin or move production elsewhere, the company chairman said Tuesday. The decision will depend on the outcome of labor negotiations that begin this week with the United Steelworkers of America and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, chief executive Keith Wandell said in an interview. Harley will negotiate with the unions for a combined contract that takes effect April 1, 2012. The Milwaukee manufacturer of heavyweight motorcycles intends to make decisions about the future of its plants in Menomonee Falls and Tomahawk, so the contract talks must be wrapped up soon. "If we can't come to an agreement, then we are going to have to move the operations," Wandell said. "It is going to take us a little bit of time to build a factory and those kind of things."
