Ford, UAW reach tentative deal to end strike: 'We told Ford to pony up and they did'
Fain said the UAW reached an historic agreement with Ford, including a 25% wage increase
over the life of the contract. Ford workers will receive an immediate 11% wage hike.
Including compounding and cost of living, worker pay will rise about 33%
to over $40 an hour over the life of the contract.
In addition to the general wage hike, Fain said that the lowest paid temporary workers
would see raises of more than 150% over the contract term and employees would reach
top pay after three years. The union also won the right to strike Ford over future plant closures, he said.
