Canadian car union Unifor reached a tentative deal with Ford Tuesday night, avoiding a strike.
The two parties struck a deal just hours before the midnight contract deadline. The union on Monday announced it was extending negotiations after receiving a last-minute offer from Ford. The details of the tentative deal have not been released, but Unifor President Lana Payne said the agreement addressed all of the union’s demands.
The deal avoids a nearly 6,000-worker strike that would have sprung up at all of Ford’s factories in Ontario, Canada. It also lets the car company focus all of its bargaining energy on the striking United Auto Workers union.
