Ford Union Approves Two and Half Year Pension Plan
Ford workers accept a two and a half year contract with no wage increase. The deal adds a pension and fringe benefits funded by a 10 cent per hour package. A minority UAW faction opposed it calling it inadequate while Walter Reuther warned a strike was possible if approved. The company aims to save 100,000 per year and 225,000 in an additional plan for General Motors.
