The United Auto Workers has reached a tentative agreement with Ford on a four-and-a-half year contract.
The 25% general wage increase is more than Ford workers' total pay rise between 2001 and 2022, the UAW said.
Temporary workers at Ford are set to see their pay increase by two-and-a-half times.

The United Auto Workers union announced Wednesday evening that it had reached a tentative agreement with Ford — one of the three automakers that have been on strike for almost six weeks.
