I’ve been covering the auto industry since 1989, first as CNN Detroit Bureau Chief, then as the National Auto Writer for the Associated Press, General Motors beat writer at the Detroit News and video reporter at Automotive News.
When Ford Motor Co. UAW workers vote later this week they'll be considering a longer, richer contract that includes the right to unionize workers at planned electric vehicle and battery plants, converts temporary workers to permanent hires more quickly and reduces by more than half the time it takes to reach top wages.
The battery plant planned for Marshall, Mich. Will include transfer rights for any “surplus” Ford workers and come under the master agreement after a card check process. That wasn't a date randomly chosen, but, Fain explained, rather to allow the union to strike, if necessary, on the traditional May Day or International Workers Day.
