Ford workers approve UAW contract changes

DETROIT (AP) - March 9, 2009

The approved agreement also ends the jobs bank program and lets Ford make payments in stock to a union-run trust for retiree health care.

The union says 59 percent of production workers and 58 percent of skilled-trades workers voted for the agreement.

Ford is not seeking government funding and is the first U.S. automaker to come to an agreement with the union.
