At least 1,300 employees at the plant walked out on Tuesday. The union said up to 5,000 workers will be going on strike.
7:49 PM CDT October 25, 2023it has reached a tentative contract agreement with Ford that could be a breakthrough toward ending the nearly 6-week-old strikes against Detroit automakers.
The four-year deal, which still has to be approved by 57,000 union members at the company, could bring a close to the union’s series of strikes at targeted factories run by Ford, General Motors and Jeep maker Stellantis. The Ford deal could set the pattern for agreements with the other two automakers, although no other agreements were announced.
The union called on all workers at Ford to return to their jobs and said that will put pressure on GM and Stellantis to bargain.“We won things no one thought possible.” He added that Ford put 50% more money on the table than it did before the strike started on Sept. 15.UAW International UnionVice President Chuck Browning, the chief negotiator with Ford, said workers will get a 25% general wage increase, plus cost of living raises that will put the pay increase over 30%, to above $40 per hour.
Typically, during past auto strikes, a UAW deal with one automaker has led the other companies to match it with their own settlements.
