The union representing 6,700 autoworkers at Ford has reached a tentative agreement and secured a $700-million product investment from the automaker after a tense round of talks that went past the midnight deadline.
Unifor president Jerry Dias made the announcement just before 12:30 this morning, about half an hour after the strike deadline.
Dias says the ``overwhelming majority'' of the multi-million dollar investment will be going to one of its two engine plants in Windsor
Union members will vote on the deal over the weekend.
