UAW Workers Reject Record Contract Deals at Ford and GM Plants
Workers at Ford's Kentucky Truck Plant and General Motors' Flint Assembly plant have voted against the contract agreements reached by the United Auto Workers union. The majority of workers at both plants rejected the deals, indicating potential challenges for the UAW despite record agreements with major automakers. The contracts offer significant wage increases and improved benefits, but some workers feel that certain demands, such as retiree health care, were not met. The final tallies at the Big 3 automakers are expected in the coming weeks.
