UAW reaches tentative local agreement at Ford Kentucky truck plant

After months of negotiations over local issues, UAW Local 862 announced that it has reached a tentative local agreement with Ford Motor Co., averting a potential strike this week. “Workers at Ford’s most profitable plant were set to walk off the job over local issues related to skilled trades, health & safety, and ergonomics. The tentative deal addresses these and other core issues of concern to KTP autoworkers. There are dozens of remaining open local agreements across the Big Three automakers, while the national contracts were ratified this fall after the union’s Stand Up Strike secured record contracts.”
