(Reuters) – U.S. tractor maker Deere & Co agreed on a new six-year contract with the United Auto Workers (UAW) union that would be subject to a vote by the company’s striking workers, the company said in a statement on Saturday.
About 90% of the union’s members in early October rejected a previous tentative deal agreed between Deere and the UAW, and subsequently decided to go on strike.
