From USA Today:
UAW members have ratified the national labor agreement with Chrysler LLC, the union said in a statement [Saturday].
The announcement comes shortly after voting ended at Chrysler's Belvidere Assembly Plant in Illinois. Workers there voted to reject the agreement with 55% of voters against it, a person familiar with the results said.
Belvidere's Local 1268 was the final union local to vote but the defeat was apparently not enough to overcome the number of yes votes already logged.
According to a statement issued by the UAW, the contract passed overall with 56% in favor among production workers and 51% in favor among skilled trade workers.
In addition, 94% of office and clerical workers and 79% of engineering workers voted to approve the deal.
