The union representing Canadian auto-assembly workers said the agreement still needs to be ratified by members and hasn’t been released publicly yet. Unifor’s master bargaining chair for Ford, John D’Agnolo, said in a release that the deal “makes the kind of gains our members need today and adds greater financial security for the future.” (The Logic)

Talking point: As it stands, an extra day of negotiations helped Unifor avert a strike that would have been triggered when the contract with Ford’s 5,600 unionized workers expired on Monday night. The agreement, if ratified, would serve as a template for negotiations with General Motors and Stellantis. Meanwhile, a strike by Unifor’s sister union in the U.S., the United Auto Workers, has entered its sixth day. The workers’ strike has so far impacted select Ford, GM and Stellantis plants, though the UAW has threatened to expand it if a deal can’t be reached by noon Friday.
