## Resource

Ford and Unifor have reached a tentative three-year labor deal that could reshape auto negotiations across Canada—5,000 workers in Ontario and Alberta will vote on it soon, with ratification set for July 17-19. The agreement, kept secret until votes are cast, addresses pay, job security, and benefits for nearly 19,000 union members across Ford, GM, and Stellantis. Ford is staying quiet while Unifor credits workers’ efforts, and with layoffs already underway due to production shifts, this vote could set the tone for the entire industry.
