Deal sets the pattern for upcoming talks with GM in Canada

A strike by autoworkers at Canadian Ford plants has been averted.

Unifor, which represents about 56-hundred Ford workers say 54 per cent of members voted in favour of the proposed collective agreement.

The union says the deal offers a 15 per cent wage increase to be spread over three years.

The deal sets the pattern for upcoming talks with GM and Stellantis in Canada, as well as a potential precedent that could play out in the United Auto Workers' strike at automaker facilities in the U-S.
