It is not clear what derailed GM and the UAW’s progress toward an agreement.
DETROIT: United Auto Workers president Shawn Fain is meeting Sunday afternoon with local union leaders from Ford to start the process of ratifying a new contract, while bargaining continues at General Motors following a setback Saturday.
The Ford UAW deal includes a US$5,000 ratification bonus, special retirement incentive packages and gives newly-hired temporary workers a faster path to full-time status and the top union pay rate, according to a summary document seen by Reuters. Workers also get a US$1,500 voucher toward a vehicle purchase and heftier company contributions for retirement benefits.
UAW counsel Benjamin Dictor on Sunday morning posted on the social media site X, formerly known as Twitter: “All my homies hate companies that won’t agree to fair contracts for their workers.” He later deleted the post. Union leaders will then fan out to regional meetings to explain the deals to members, who will then vote on whether to approve it.
At one point, he told Ford Chief Executive Jim Farley to “Go get the big chequebook,” declaring that the “days of the UAW and Ford being a team to fight other companies are over.”
