DETROIT, Sept 25 — Ford Motor said yesterday that despite progress in some areas, it still has “significant gaps to close” on key economic issues before it can reach a new labour agreement with the United Auto Workers union.
The UAW, which on Friday cited “real progress” in talks with the No. 2 US automaker, did not immediately comment. The UAW began unprecedented, simultaneous strikes on September 15 at one assembly plant each of the Detroit Three after the prior four-year labour deals expired. The strikes at additional GM and Stellantis facilities on Friday added about 5,600 workers to the 12,700 previously on strike.
The Detroit Three automakers have proposed 20% raises over 4-1/2 years, while the UAW is seeking 40 per cent along with 32-hour-work weeks, the return of defined benefit pensions and to eliminate wage gaps separating newer and older employees.
