Ford (F)

United Auto Workers union overwhelmingly rejected a proposed cost-cutting deal with Ford Motor Company, delivering a setback for the automaker as it seeks to bring down labor costs in line with U.S. rivals.
The UAW said that 70% of production workers and 75% of skilled trade workers voted to reject a proposed agreement the union leadership and Ford Motor Company negotiated in October to change the 2007 four-year contract. The deal would have brought Ford Motor Company labor costs in line with General Motors Co and Chrysler Group LLC.
