Ford And UAW Come To An AGREEMENT! Next Up...FCA...

FCA will give in this round....they probably don't want any drama that could scuttle their merger. The French government probably wont meddle this time around because of contentious trade negotiations between the US/EU currently underway, and also because they need the FCA/PSA merger to go through to protect their auto industry.
