HEADLINE: New Era, union will receive Cornell award

BODY:

New Era Cap Co. and the Communications Workers of America Local 14177 will receive a labor-management cooperation award Monday from Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations.
The Champions Work award, which recognizes cooperative progress, is to be presented at a reception in Hamburg.
Since the end of an 11-month strike in 2002, the Derby-based maker of baseball caps has boosted its output and joined the Fair Labor Association, a watchdog group.
New Era is expected to expand jobs at its Derby factory in the Town of Evans, about 20 miles south of Buffalo, as it moves its headquarters from the production site to downtown Buffalo.
The plant is expected to add 119 jobs over three years, bringing its total to 450, with another 300 jobs at the downtown headquarters.
New Era was nominated for the award by CWA area director David Palmer. The union was elected to represent the plant's production workers in 1997.
