Why this could be seen as good news

  • Ford production workers in Kentucky voted against a new labor deal
  • 55% of production workers voted against the deal
  • Only 37% of the local chapter’s members voted in favor of the new labor deal in 2019
  • Ratification process has been slow
  • Ford stock was down 0.6% after the vote

Factory workers at the Ford Kentucky Truck Plant voted against a new labor deal, with 55% of production workers voting against it. This result is actually an improvement compared to previous years, as only 37% voted in favor of the deal in 2019. The ratification process has been slow, possibly due to the union agreeing to go back to work during the vote. Ford stock was down 0.6% following the vote, but it’s important to note that the majority of workers at each auto maker’s union need to approve the deal for it to be ratified.
