Ford might dodge the bullet on its new agreement with the UAW after all, as Bloomberg reports workers have voted 62 percent in favor of the tentative four-year labor agreement, according to results released as of 8:30 PM New York time.
The voting will last until October 18th, but for now, just under 15,000 members of the total 40,000 have expressed their agreement with Ford’s offer.
“This contract is close to a done deal. Local 600 is pivotal because it’s the largest Ford local and is closely watched by other Ford locals. Both the size and visibility of Local 600 give this contract a major boost,” said Harley Shaiken, labor professor at University of California at Berkeley.
Ford is the only one of the Big Three that has not come to an agreement with the union yet.
