A new deal has been struck for a three-year labour contract between a union representing Canadian autoworkers and Ford Motor Co..<\/p>\n

The tentative agreement covers roughly 5,000 workers at five plants in southern Ontario and one in Alberta.<\/p>\n

Details are being kept under wraps until they can be presented to union members for ratification.<\/p>\n

The union opted to negotiate with Ford first, a move similar to the one it took during the last round of talks in 2023.<\/p>\n
