Members of the United Auto Staff at Ford secured sufficient votes to ratify their contract on Friday, the third and last automaker to hitch the fold — successfully ending a strike that had drawn broad political consideration and cementing President Joe Biden’s alliance with organized labor.
Union members at Common Motors and Stellantis achieved the identical milestones on Thursday and earlier Friday, respectively, in keeping with UAW vote trackers.
The votes mark the top of a tumultuous conflict between labor and administration that has drawn prime lawmakers and Democrats together with Biden, who made an unprecedented go to to the picket line and was deeply invested within the final result. The extended strike threatens to additional destabilize the economic system and supply a gap for former President Donald Trump, who’s in search of employees’ assist in his bid to return to the White Home.
