Union spokesman Tom Boger says the company installed cement barricades to block access to all gates including empty parking lots. Thursday the company shut down production in anticipation of the strike.

The sticking points are:

Health care costs
Pension plans
A new two-tiered pay system.
All things the company and union can't agree on right now.

In a statement released by the General Manager of the York plant, Fred Gates said he's disappointed with the vote to strike.

" The proposed contract was structured to help manage future costs that could be detrimental to our business over the long term. While Harley-Davidson is a strong company today, we don't want to find ourselves in ten years-- in the same position that the Detroit auto industry is in now."

There are no plans to negotiate and no indication of how long the strike will last.
