The deal would be the first settlement of strikes by 45,000 workers against the 'Big Three' US car makers.

By Peter Hoskins Business reporter

Ford and the United Auto Workers (UAW) union have reached a tentative deal to end a six-week strike.

The agreement would be the first settlement of strikes by 45,000 workers against Ford, General Motors (GM) and Chrysler-parent Stellantis.

The deal still needs to be approved by union leaders and members.

    The article also says right to strike over plant closures. They could strike anyway, but that’ll mean Ford can’t fire them for it. Job security. Also according to the guardian, that 25% is after cost of living adjustments, so it’ll be an actual 25% and not chasing inflation.

    Overall, I’d say that’s decent, but obviously it’s the auto workers who get to decide that.
