This is the best summary I could come up with:


Ford workers in Canada are voting on the weekend on the labour agreement reached Tuesday night.

Unifor on Friday said its Ford leadership group has voted unanimously to support the tentative agreement.

UAW president Shawn Fain said on Friday that Ford had improved its contract offer, including boosting profit-sharing and agreeing to let workers strike over plant closures, but that the union still has "serious issues" with the company, and its workers would remain on strike at the automaker's Wayne, Mich., assembly plant.

Unlike the UAW, Unifor chose one of the Detroit Three as a "target" to negotiate with first — in this case, Ford — in a pattern-bargaining tactic used to set the tone for subsequent deals with other companies.

Unifor had sought improved wages and pensions, support in the transition to electric vehicles and additional investment commitments from Ford.

The union is yet to reach a deal with Stellantis and General Motors to avoid walkouts at their Canadian facilities.

That's a bit far from what Unifor wanted. It'll be interesting to see whether members approve it.
