The US autoworkers union announced a tentative agreement with Ford late Wednesday, a breakthrough in a 41-day stoppage on Detroit's "Big Three" car manufacturers. The deal, which rank-and-file workers must still approve in a vote, includes a 25-percent wage increase for hourly employees, the United Auto Workers (UAW) union said.
