Ford-UAW tentative agreement includes 25% wage hike, bonuses, more
The UAW laid out Ford's tentative deal on Sunday before union members prepare to vote on the contract.
MONDAY NEWS HIT - UAW leadership shared highlights of Ford's tentative deal, including wage increases and bonuses, during an update Sunday night.
"This deal puts more money on the table than the 2019 agreement, four times over, so when we say historic, we mean it," UAW President Shawn Fain said.
The tentative deal includes 25% wage increases, including 11% immediately upon ratification, and a big bump in starting wages, up to $30.35 from $18.04. Through the life of the contract, top wages increase 33%.
Wage tiers are eliminated under the agreement, and the time to get to max wages is reduced to three years.
The deal also includes $5,000 ratification bonuses and annual bonuses for retirees.
Now, meetings will be held with union members. During these meetings, members can ask questions about the contract before they vote on it. The ratification process could take several weeks.
