Happy workers do a better job and are more productive.

EDIT: I see this news has already been posted but can't figure out how to delete this thread.

Did Shawn get the demanded 40 hours pay for 32 hours work week ?

Looking at the details I don't think so. Nor did they get the huge pay increase they were after.

I thought they wanted the tier situation fixed to balance the disparity between hires do the same job. I don't think those at the top were demanding as much as those that were in the lower tiers and making much less.

Will be interesting to see what the details are...

And by "over", you mean "tentatively"!

Yep, members usually vote what UAW Reps recommend.

From the Reuters article:

The proposed accord, which UAW's leadership must still approve, provides a 25% wage hike over the 4-1/2-year contract, starting with an initial increase of 11%.​

​

The Ford deal, which could help create a template for settlements of parallel UAW strikes against General Motors and Chrysler parent Stellantis, would amount to total pay hikes of more than 33% when compounding and cost-of-living mechanisms are factored in, the UAW said.​

​

"We told Ford to pony up and they did," Fain said in a video post on Facebook, adding that the strike at Ford "has delivered".​

​

In addition to the general wage hike, Fain said the lowest-paid temporary workers would see raises of more than 150% over the contract term and employees would reach top pay after three years. The union also won the right to strike over future plant closures, he said.​

Since we all know that businesses never absorb the cost of material and wage increases, what will this do to the sticker price of a new Ford?
“The agreement grants 25% in base wage increases through April 2028, and will cumulatively raise the top wage by over 30% to more than $40 an hour, and raise the starting wage by 68%, to over $28 an hour.”

Glad I'm getting the new car smell now because I won't be buying the new price smell.
