Ford workers in Canada ratify new labour deal.

The union on Sunday said its new contract with Ford was ratified with 58% of those who voted in favour of the new 4 year agreement, and Unifor represents 6,700 Ford workers.

“Bargaining is always tough, but reaching this contract was no small feat,” said Chris Taylor, who chaired the union’s Ford bargaining committee, in a release.

The work contract individually guarantee several millions in new investment in the automakers’ Canadian operations, at times dependent upon government bolster.

The Ford contract intently looks like the GM and Fiat Chrysler contracts, and covers workers at Ford’s Windsor, Ont., engine plants and some office and warehouse workers in Windsor and Edmonton and in addition Oakville, Ont., get together laborers.

Ford’s dedicated to invest 713 million in Canadian dollars and 613 million at an engine plant in Windsor for a new engine program and future plant upgrades.

Workers will get $12,000 in bonus payments over four years, and two per cent raises in the first and fourth years of the agreement.

In any case, the arrangement keeps up a 10-year wage movement for new contracts that is disliked with some Ford laborers, particularly in Oakville. It additionally incorporates a critical concession on pensions, offering new hires a definite contribution pension plan, rather than an arrangement that promises a few advantages regardless of how pension investments perform.

In an open letter and interview toward the beginning of October, it said an arrangement like the one endorsed at GM would likely be dismissed in Oakville, where 5,000 of the union’s almost 7,000 Ford workers work. In any case, ahead of the vote, he and other local union leaders embraced the uncertain contract.
