The United Auto Workers Union said its members voted to approve a four-year contract with Ford, Reuters reports, after reaching a tentative deal in October.

Why it matters: With 56.3% of Ford’s hourly workers voting in favor of the deal, Ford will avoid a strike like the six-week work stoppage that cost General Motors nearly $3 billion earlier this fall, per Reuters.


  • The union will now focus on striking a deal with Fiat Chrysler, the last of the three unionized domestic automakers.
