Ford offers 9 percent raise as strike odds grow
Ford Motor Co. proposed a three year contract with a nearly nine percent wage increase for its 170,000 hourly workers while the United Auto Workers signaled the deal might not avert a walkout. UAW President Leonard Woodcock urged caution, stating optimism was fading as bargaining stretched past two days. Ford dropped most health insurance cost shifts but held firm on paid days off, a key union demand. The dispute centers on reducing work time to preserve and create jobs, with Ford opposing paying workers not to work. A news blackout was anticipated as marathon talks continued.
