Solid Sign of Accord in Ford Strike
Ford Motor Co and the United Auto Workers reported two new proposals on the bargaining table signaling possible progress after three months of strike. The UAW and Ford issued terse statements as talks resumed after a self imposed blackout, with no details released. Negotiations slated to continue with Reuther and Ford negotiators involved, while no face to face meetings were confirmed. The strike began after the Sept 6 end of the old three year contract affecting 180,000 Ford workers. Ford had offered a wage raise of 13 cents an hour plus 2.8 percent increases over two years and a separate skilled trades wage boost. The UAW rejected Ford’s first offer as inadequate. The new proposals were the first significant move since August proposals and aim to set a pattern for GM and Chrysler negotiations. The UAW described Ford’s second proposal as some movement and progress but not enough to entitle workers to equity.
