Autoworkers at the first Ford factory to go on strike in decades have voted overwhelmingly to ratify a tentative contract agreement reached with the vehicle maker late last month.

The United Auto Workers (UAW) union announced members of UAW Local 900 at Ford’s Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne voted 82 percent in favor of ratifying the new four-year, eight-month deal in a Nov. 2 statement.
