DETROIT, Sept 21 — The Canadian auto workers union has reached a tentative agreement with Ford, averting a strike as negotiations continued Wednesday in Detroit where US labour leaders have threatened to expand a stoppage at three major automakers.
About 12,700 United Auto Workers members are on strike at three US plants after failing to agree on a new contract with the “Big Three” automakers — Ford, General Motors and Stellantis. Earlier Wednesday, Stellantis announced layoffs potentially involving more than 350 workers in Perrysburg, Ohio and Kokomo, Indiana due to effects of the UAW strike at its Toledo, Ohio factory.Union officials have said their goal has been a strong contract for workers and that they hoped to avoid a strike. But the stoppage has been a necessary tool to achieve a stronger package as workers struggle with elevated inflation.
Ford confirmed the tentative settlement but declined to discuss specifics of the proposed contract “to respect the ratification process,” a company spokesman said in an email. At an event with Brazilian leader Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on workers’ rights, Biden said, “Let me be clear, whether it’s the auto workers or any other union worker, record corporation profit should mean record contracts for union workers.”
