The United Auto Workers (UAW) announced Wednesday that it had reached a "tentative agreement" with Ford after 40 days of walkout.
According to Shawn Fain, UAW President, following this step, the elected officers of the UAW's National Ford Council will vote on October 29 on whether to send the agreement to the membership. If the council approves the deal, then only the membership vote would remain to finish the process.
"We knew we were getting close. But we also knew the companies needed a major push if we were going to make sure we got every penny possible in this agreement," Fain said on X, formerly known as Twitter. Previous reports noted that the tentative deal includes wage increases of 25% over the term of the agreement, the reinstatement of cost-of-living arrangements, and other benefits.
