Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV and the United Auto Workers reached a tentative deal on a new labor agreement, averting a strike that would have sent the union’s 40,000 members walking off the job.
The UAW’s bargaining committee made “significant gains” in the agreement, the union announced on its website, saying it would make details available pending the results of a vote Friday. Fiat Chrysler confirmed the accord Thursday in a statement and said it can’t discuss specifics.
