Thousands of Canadian auto workers could secure three per cent wage increases every year for the next three if they agree to a new labour contract.<\/p>\n

Unifor released details of a proposed collective agreement between its bargaining leads and Ford Motor Company on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The union says the deal includes a renewed commitment by Ford to keep its facilities open where Unifor employees work.<\/p>\n

The bargaining team says Ford has also committed to investing more than $1 million into its plants in Windsor and Oakville, Ont.<\/p>\n

Union officials say the results of a vote by its members on the agreement will be announced Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Negotiations began on June 22, coming at a time when deals at all three of the big American automakers were set to expire.<\/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
