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.
