UAW Reaches Tentative Deal with Ford After 6 Weeks on Strike

HeadlineOct 26, 2023

The United Auto Workers has reached a tentative deal with Ford, six weeks into its historic strike against the Big Three automakers. UAW President Shawn Fain announced the breakthrough Wednesday evening.

Shawn Fain: “For months we’ve said that record profits mean record contracts. And, UAW family, our stand-up strike has delivered.”

The agreement, which still needs to be approved by rank-and-file union members, includes pay hikes totaling over 33%, when cost-of-living adjustments are factored in. It also includes wins on pensions and job security, and could serve as a blueprint for the ongoing strikes at GM and Stellantis.
