Workers chilly to Ford contract
Workers chilly to Ford contract

Even with a tentative agreement that is filled with product and job promises—including a $1,000 per-worker bonus—a deal reached between Ford Motor Co. and the UAW faces widespread opposition, according to union workers and leaders, the Detroit Free Press reported.
The agreement was recommended for approval by the UAW’s top leadership last week, but must be ratified by union members to become official, the paper said. Ford, in an effort to obtain the contract changes, has promised the UAW that it will continue to create more than 2,000 jobs across Ford’s U.S. plants, add a new product to the lineups at several metro Detroit plants and provide the $1,000 one time bonus, the Free Press said.
Even those in favor of the agreement acknowledge that it is getting a cold reception, the paper said. Voting on the agreement by Ford hourly workers likely is to begin as early as this week and run most of the rest of October, the story said. (Detroit Free Press)
