At midnight Thursday, the United Auto Workers union announced it struck a tentative labor agreement with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles late Wednesday, averting a strike.
Details of the agreement have not yet been released, and local union leaders will vote on the deal during a meeting Friday in Detroit. The union represents 40,000 Fiat Chrysler Automobiles workers at 23 plants across the United States. Last week, UAW workers rejected a tentative agreement that they said did not do enough to restore benefits for workers lost in previous contracts, The Associated Press reports.
