HARRISBURG — Workers at the Harley-Davidson plant in south-central Pennsylvania are poised to vote on whether to accept a labor contract that could keep the plant there.However, the contract up for a vote today also would pave the way for deep job cuts at the York plant. Union members will be gathering in the early morning.Milwaukee-based Harley-Davidson said it will decide the plant's fate sometime after the vote. Company and union negotiators agreed to the tentative contract last month.The company said the plant is too inefficient and costly in light of steep sales declines, and has considered moving it to Kentucky.A union official said he believes the contract's cost savings will compel the company to stay, while Gov. Ed Rendell is offering millions in incentives.

IRWIN — A Western Pennsylvania woman's Air Force induction is in limbo because she has a tattoo of a theatrical mask on her right forearm.Nineteen-year-old Kayla Bresnan, of Penn Township, was sworn in for the Air Force's delayed entry program in April. Her tattoo wasn't a problem then.But her recruiter now says it disqualifies her because it is below the elbow on her "saluting" arm. A new Air Force regulation went into effect Nov. 25 banning such tattoos because they aren't covered by a uniform sleeve.The Air Force has instituted a grace period to review enlistments like Bresnan's, who were told their tattoos were acceptable when they enlisted.It's still possible Bresnan will be grandfathered in and allowed to report to Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas.
