Ford workers appear set to approve labor deal
United Auto Workers members representing workers at Ford plants in the U.S. have started to report ratification voting information on a new four-year contract agreement. Only one plant has voted against the new contract, making it more popular than the last four-year contract which received a number of “no” votes, initially. The final vote will be available at the end of this week, and while it appears that the contract will pass, some of the larger plants have not yet voted. This tentative agreement was reached shortly after the GM strike. It is assumed that this strike impacted Ford’s bargaining as the firm did not want to face the kind of labor strife that GM experienced.
