Ford Motor and Canadian auto union Unifor have reached a tentative agreement on a three-year national labor contract. The contract covers more than 5,000 unionized employees in Canada.
Details of the Agreement
Unifor began negotiations with Ford last month, seeking better pay, job security, and benefits for its nearly 19,000 members at the Detroit Three automakers: Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis. The agreement is subject to ratification by Ford-Unifor members.
Existing collective agreements between Unifor and the automakers expire on September 20. The union began talks earlier than usual, citing worsening economic conditions. Some 6,000 workers have been laid off across plants owned by the three automakers as the companies have shifted or paused production at several facilities.
