Ford Motor Co. has reported a significant hit to its profits due to a strike at a parts supplier.
The United Auto Workers (UAW) union and Stellantis have reached a tentative agreement on a new contract.
The United Auto Workers (UAW) union and Stellantis, the multinational automaker, have reached a tentative agreement on a new contract. The details of the agreement have not been disclosed, but it is expected to include wage increases, improved benefits, and commitments to new investments in U.S. factories. The agreement comes after weeks of negotiations and is subject to ratification by the union's membership.
The negotiations between UAW and Stellantis were closely watched by the industry, as they were the first to take place under the union's new direct election leadership. The UAW has been under federal oversight due to a corruption scandal involving its former leaders.
Meanwhile, Ford Motor Co. has reported a significant hit to its profits due to a strike at a parts supplier. The strike has disrupted production at several of Ford's factories, leading the company to withdraw its financial guidance and slow down its spending on electric vehicle development. The strike and its impact on Ford underscore the significant leverage that unions and their members have in the auto industry.
The deal includes a $9,000 signing bonus for workers, improvements in profit sharing, and a commitment from Stellantis to invest $1 billion in US factories.
