Ford Workers Back On Job Thursday After Pact
Ford workers are set to return Thursday as a new contract ties pensions to pay scale for 1969. The plan spans 5.50 to 6.00 dollars with higher pensions for higher earners, and includes a three-cent minimum wage rise in the last two years, plus annual caps. A side agreement shields some COLA adjustments, while Canadian pay parity remains a bargaining target for UAW. The deal adds 12 minutes daily relief time and restricts outside contracting, with a new prescription drug plan and extended holiday weekends for Christmas and New Year.
