A late-night deal reached between Ford and Kansas City, Missouri auto workers averted a strike over the weekend.
United Auto Workers Vice President Jimmy Settles in a letter to workers said negotiators reached an agreement late Friday night.
As you know, earlier this week, I gave Ford Motor Company 120-hour notice of our intention to strike at the Kansas City facility if a tentative agreement for their local contract could not be reached. Thankfully, with this evenings (sic) announcement, that action has been averted.
The UAW hasn't yet announced if it will shift its focus to negotiations with Ford after a majority of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles union workers rejected their proposed deal with the automaker.
UAW president Dennis Williams issued a letter Monday to workers that it would take back to FCA issues regarding the proposed health care co-op and urged hourly workers to ignore "outside" agitators, according to Automotive News.
Finally, outside groups like to stir people up. You, our members need to make decisions based on what's best for you and your families. No one else has to pay the price of a strike. No one else will lose a paycheck or a home.
