    UAW, John Deere Come to Terms on New Six-Year Contract

    Written by David Schollaert

    United Auto Workers (UAW) members at John Deere ratified a new collective bargaining agreement on Wednesday, ending a month-long strike that had seen two previous deals rejected.

    The UAW said 10,000 members ratified a new six-year contract offer by a vote of 61%, covering 14 facilities across the U.S. The previous two offers were rejected by 90% and 55% of the UAW membership, respectively.
