Ford Walkout Keeps Talks Open After Strikes
Ford Motor Co and the United Auto Workers kept informal negotiations after a Tuesday night walkout by 170,000 workers. The fall union negotiating team plans to reconvene Monday, seeking 12 extra days off to boost employment and job security, which Ford rejects as disruptive to factory operations. Ford offered five extra days a year, while the union argues it would not meaningfully raise employment. Ford’s weekly auto production reached 155,625 vehicles, compared with 148,489 the previous Labor Day period.

Foreign Agricultural Service analysts cut the world wheat and coarse grain production forecast by 6.6 million tons to a new record of 1.051 billion. Adverse August weather in Europe and the United States prompted the revision. Western Europe imports are expected to rise as feed shortages widen, while U.S. exports of wheat and coarse grains are adjusted higher, with spring and fall shipments to the Soviet Union and Common Market nations noted. The report also covers stock forecasts, export totals, and upcoming hearings on carrot labeling.
