DEARBORN, Mich. (Reuters) - United Auto Workers President Ron Gettelfinger said
on Monday he hoped to wrap up the union's ratification vote on a proposed
four-year deal with Ford Motor Co by next Monday.
Gettelfinger, speaking after union local officials unanimously endorsed the
tentative deal, also said he did not expect Ford to announce any further job
cuts in the wake of the contract.
"We feel very comfortable with their commitment," Gettelfinger told Reuters as
he was leaving the meeting with union officials.
Gettelfinger said the union had "absolutely not" been aware of plans by
Chrysler LLC to cut up to an additional 10,000 factory jobs. Chrysler announced
those cuts last week, just days after workers approved a new contract with the
automaker in a close-fought ratification vote.
