[TECHCRUNCH] Ford and UAW negotiators reach ‘tentative agreement’ to end strike

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Ford has reached a “tentative agreement on a new labor contract” with the United Auto Workers (UAW) union for the automaker’s U.S. operations.

The UAW began its strike of the Detroit Three automakers — Ford, Stellantis and General Motors — in mid-September.

Ford’s UAW-represented employees still need to ratify the agreement, but UAW president Shawn Fain seemed optimistic about what he called a “historic victory” during a Facebook Live event Wednesday evening.

Fain said the UAW had taken the strike to a “new phase” this week, hitting the companies with “maximum effect,” which spurred Ford to come to the table.

On Monday, the UAW called members to strike at Stellantis’s Sterling Heights Assembly plant.

Browning said the agreement also includes a three-year progression and kills the device of wage tiers at Sterling Axle and Rawsonville.
