Auto Union Says Contract Talks With Ford Motor Are ’Ahead of Schedule’
2011-08-17 14:15:34
Quote: United Auto Workers’ contract
negotiations with Ford Motor Co. are “ahead of schedule†and
the union will proceed with “routine†strike-authorization
votes through Sept. 2, Vice President Jimmy Settles said in an
e-mailed statement.
The votes are “a normal part of negotiations,†Settles
said in the statement. Such votes enable union leaders to call a
strike. Settles heads the UAW’s negotiations with Ford.
General Motors Co. (GM) and
Chrysler Group LLC expire Sept. 14. Ford is the only automaker
the UAW can strike. No strike may occur during this year’s
contract negotiations at GM or Chrysler as part of U.S. bailouts
of those automakers in 2009.
