UAW ratification vote ongoing - track voting totals on Detroit 3 contract offers here
DETROIT (FOX 2) - The hard part may be over, but the UAW strike won't officially end until the union's members vote to ratify the contract negotiated with Detroit's three automakers.
The ratification process requires that local groups review and discuss contract offers before workers decide to vote on whether to approve or reject the proposals. The UAW president has held multiple updates on Facebook and YouTube since securing offers from Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis, pitching members on what he has sold as an "historic deal."
That includes gains worth four times the value of previous contracts and a 25% wage boost from each of the automakers.

The UAW has posted ratification results from each automaker's local union groups that are updated hourly.
