Ford Motor Co. employees represented by the United Auto Workers will begin voting on a proposed four-year contract that includes $30,000 in additional wages and bonuses and $9 billion in factory investments expected to create or secure 8,500 jobs, the union said.
The tentative agreement reached Friday was recommended Monday by leaders from union locals across the U.S. who gathered in Detroit. It now moves to a vote by Ford’s 52,900 U.S. hourly workers. The UAW didn’t give a timeline for ratification.
