The United Auto Workers announced Monday that employees at each of the Big Three U.S. automakers officially ratified new contracts.
It had been clear for several days that the contract would win approval. The union said 64% of employees at Ford, Stellantis and General Motors voted to accept the deals, which were won after a six-week strike.
