Ford, Stellantis, and GM workers overwhelmingly ratify new contracts that raise pay across industry
CBSN
The United Auto Workers union overwhelmingly ratified new contracts with Ford and Stellantis, along with a similar deal with General Motors will raise pay across the industry, force automakers to absorb higher costs and help reshape the auto business as it shifts away from gasoline-fueled vehicles.
Workers at Stellantis, the maker of Jeep, Dodge and Ram vehicles, voted 68.8% in favor of the deal. Their approval brought to a close a contentious labor dispute that included name-calling and a series of punishing strikes that imposed high costs on the companies and led to significant gains in pay and benefits for UAW workers.
The deal at Stellantis passed by a roughly 10,000 vote margin, with ballot counts ending Saturday afternoon.
