BROOK PARK, OH—The Ford Motor Co. has announced that all of its over 3,000 employees who were affected by layoffs related to the six-week-long United Auto Workers strike have been called back to work. That number includes the final 186 employees at Cleveland Engine Plant No. 1.

On Nov. 18, the UAW announced it had ratified a new agreement with Ford and Stellantis that will be in effect until April 2028. A similar deal was approved with General Motors days earlier. The companies agreed to dramatically raise pay for top-scale assembly plant workers, with increases and cost-of-living adjustments that would translate into 33 percent wage gains. Top assembly plant workers are to receive immediate 11 percent raises and will earn roughly $42 an hour when the contracts expire.

Ford says all of the 16,600 employees that were on strike were called back by Oct. 30. The three assembly plants that were on strike are back on full production schedules.

"Our production system is highly interconnected, which means the UAW’s targeted strike strategy had knock-on effects for facilities that were not directly targeted for a work stoppage," Ford said in a statement issued on Monday.

More than 370 employees were laid off from the Cleveland Engine Plant in early October. The 365-acre facility in Brook Park has been open since 1952 and currently employs approximately 1,834 workers. The plant makes Ford's 2.0/2.3-liter EcoBoost I4 engines and 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engines.

Tentative agreements between the UAW and the Detroit 3 were finally reached in late October.
