Ford, Unifor reach tentative three-year deal covering Alberta plant

The agreement still requires ratification by union members before it takes effect.

Why it matters

The contract affects wages and job security for unionized autoworkers at Ford's Alberta plant.

Ford Motor Co. and Unifor have reached a tentative three-year labour agreement, the union announced. The deal covers roughly 5,000 workers across six plants, including five in southern Ontario and one in Alberta.

Details of the contract's terms, including wage increases and benefits, have not been released publicly. The agreement now goes to affected union members for a ratification vote.

The deal comes as Unifor continues to negotiate labour contracts across Canada's auto sector, with Ford being one of the country's major automakers employing thousands of unionized workers nationwide.
