The United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW) has ratified its agreement with Ford Motor Co.
Terms of the new agreement include increased use of temporary employees, closure of one engine plant, special retirement program, and no increase to pension obligations or payments to retirees.
Hourly employees now receive a $9,000 ratification bonus for full-time permanent employees and $3,500 for temporary employees; a guaranteed path to permanent full-time employment for temporary employees; wage increases, bonuses, and continued profit sharing; and the opportunity for current in-progression and temporary employees to achieve the top wage rate by end of agreement.
