Ford and UAW Reach Tentative Deal with 25% Pay Raise Amid Growing Auto Strikes

The UAW and Ford reached a tentative 4-year contract deal including a 25% pay increase and gains on pensions and job security.

The deal could ease deals with GM and Stellantis and end growing strikes targeting profitable models.

The UAW continues negotiating with GM and Stellantis as 45,000 workers strike across the 3 automakers.

Ford said meeting UAW demands risks competitiveness, but UAW wants momentum to organize other autoworkers.

The deal follows escalating strikes targeting GM and Stellantis trucks and SUVs. UAW said it was "checkmate" for Ford.
