As of Wednesday night, a tentative agreement has been reached between Ford and UAW workers.
"We are calling on all Ford strikers to go back to work while we vote on our tentative agreement," UAW VP Chuck Browning said. "Like everything we've done in this stand-up strike, this is a strategic move to get the best deal possible. We're going back to work at Ford to keep the pressure on Stellantis and GM. The last thing they want is for Ford to get back to full capacity while they mess around and lag behind.
While it started with only three facilities being targeted, the historic move by the union to strike Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis at the same time reached their biggest points in the past two weeks. The UAW first hit Ford's Kentucky plant where it makes its SuperDuty F-150 truck. Then the UAW targeted Stellantis' Ram plant in Sterling Heights, followed by GM's plant in Texas where it makes SUVs. All plants are major profit centers for the automakers. The contract negotiations have circled around wage increases, cost-of-living adjustments, healthcare benefits, and the ending of tiers.
"Our standup strike has delivered," UAW President Shawn Fain said. "What started at three plants at midnight on Sept. 15 has become a national movement."DAILY NEWSLETTERto the
