I saw this in a different article:
"In its latest offer, Deere bargained for incremental wage increases over six years, equal to about a $1.20 raise in hourly pay at the end of the six-year contract, according to employees. For the 2020 fiscal year, Deere & Co. net income totaled $2.751 billion, according to the company."
I'd be curious to see the whole contract. I'd also like to know if the union negotiators endorsed the contract and recommended the union members vote yes or this was a case where the company said this is our final offer like it or not, take it to your people. The article I posted made it sound like the company thought they had a deal.
