Detroit autoworkers reach deal with Ford in breakthrough towards ending strikes

The United Auto Workers (UAW) union said it has reached a tentative contract agreement with Ford that could be a breakthrough toward ending the nearly six-week-old strikes against Detroit automakers.
The four-year deal, which still has to be approved by 57,000 union members at the company, could bring a close to the union’s series of strikes at targeted factories run by Ford, General Motors (GM) and Jeep maker Stellantis.
