* Linda Barley, 56, of North York, has worked as a detailer at Harley for 21 years. She planned to vote for the contract and said she will retire and take the $10,000 payout and severance package offered.

She said this is not a good contract, that it's convoluted and difficult for her to determine what they have left in terms of benefits.

"Twenty-one years ago, it was a wonderful place to work. It was a family. We did our work. We did it well and we had fun. But way back then, we knew that it couldn't keep going, and it's too bad, because it was a good place to work."

* Lori Rudisill, 46, of Wrightsville, is an 11-year Harley employee. She arrived for the vote undecided, saying she wanted to hear more before casting her vote. She wants the employment situation to be good for the people who remain and said she knows she doesn't have the seniority to hold her job.

"I'll be out," she said and added that the $10,000 package and severance "is nothing that impresses me. That's not much with house payments and bills, you know."

* Ann Combs, 55, has 32 years with Harley. She said she plans to retire and was voting to approve the contract "to keep the plant in the community. I'm leaning toward retirement because, depending on how many people take the retirement, it would save jobs for other people."

* Jan Barnhart, 40, is an 18-year Harley employee who asks York County residents to "back us up."

"We have no choice here. (The company) is holding this over our heads, and we'll approve it," he said.

* Kevin Hamme, 47, a 15-year employee, said it's "iffy" whether he'll have a job because of the proposed downsizing. He said he'd approve the plan although he, like others, said there really isn't a choice. To fellow York County residents, he said the community shouldn't have negative feelings about the union or its decision because it set the standard in the region for good-paying jobs.

"I firmly believe the company will eventually relocate. What's happening here will happen at the other plants in Milwaukee and Kansas City."

* Bill Lawton, 47, has 15 years at Harley as a chrome polisher and said the contract is unclear when it comes to sick time and personal days. He said he isn't certain how things will work, particularly for single parents whose children become ill or for third-shifters who oversleep.

"Don't get sick, don't let your children get sick, or your baby-sitter," Lawton said.

Still, Lawton said he planned to vote in favor of the contract.
