Canadian union Unifor and automaker Stellantis have reached a tentative agreement, ending a brief strike by over 8,200 autoworkers in Ontario. The deal, which must still be ratified, follows a patterned agreement with Ford Motor and includes wage increases, reactivation of a cost-of-living allowance, and other benefits.

"Deadline Looms as Canadian Union and GM Struggle to Resolve Major Issues"

The Canadian autoworkers union, Unifor, has encountered "resistance" from General Motors (GM) in their negotiations, with "major issues" remaining as the deadline approaches. Unifor President Lana Payne stated that GM is seeking to break the pattern agreement established with Ford Motor Co., and is resisting the transition of full-time temporary workers to permanent status, as well as offering lower benefits for retirees. Unifor is also seeking written confirmation of GM's commitments to existing and future programs. The union previously set a deadline of October 9 for GM to reach a deal.

Unifor Members Approve Life-Changing Contract with Ford

Canadian labor union Unifor has ratified a new three-year contract with Ford Motor, providing a 10% wage increase in the first year and subsequent increases of 2% and 3% in the following years. The agreement also includes a $10,000 bonus for all employees and addresses demands for improved wages, pensions, support in the transition to electric vehicles, and additional investment commitments. While Ford reached a deal with Unifor, its U.S. union, the United Automobile Workers, has expanded strikes against General Motors and Stellantis but has held off on expanding the strike against Ford, citing progress in talks.

Unifor Union Members Approve Ford Contract

Unifor, the Canadian autoworkers union, has ratified a three-year contract agreement with Ford Motor Co., marking the first agreement with a Detroit Three automaker as contracts in both the U.S. and Canada reached their end this month. The deal includes a significant wage increase, reducing the time for employees to reach top pay scale, and improvements to retirement programs. The approval means that 5,600 Ford employees in Ontario now have a contract, while the UAW strike in the U.S. is limited to a single Ford facility due to progress in talks.

"Comparing Canadian and US Auto Workers: Perspectives from Detroit Auto Show Visitors"

Visitors at the Detroit auto show suggest that U.S. autoworkers should follow the example of their Canadian counterparts, who recently reached a new three-year tentative deal with Ford Motor Co. that includes significant wage increases. Meanwhile, the United Auto Workers (UAW) remains on strike against General Motors Co. and Stellantis NV, with some auto show visitors expressing mixed opinions about the strike. While some believe the pay and benefits of American autoworkers are still good, others worry about the impact of the strike on the economy and inflation.

Ford and Canadian Autoworkers Union Reach Tentative Labor Deal, Averting Strike

The Canadian autoworkers union, Unifor, has reached a tentative labor deal with Ford, averting a strike that would have affected over 5,000 union members. The details of the agreement have not been disclosed, but it comes as good news for Ford, which is already dealing with a strike by over 3,000 of its US employees. Unifor had been prepared to strike but extended its union contract for 24 hours after receiving a last-minute offer from Ford. The deal is now recommended for ratification by the union's rank-and-file membership.
