Bearing in mind that the agreement needs to be ratified. It’s clear that Unifor would not have gotten anything like what the UAW is asking for so I wonder if that ongoing strike will complicate this vote.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Unifor, which represents about 5,600 Canadian auto workers, were threatening to go on strike at all three of Ford’s plants in the country if a deal was not reached by 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday (0359 GMT on Wednesday).

The three-year agreement remains subject to ratification by Unifor members, Ford’s Canada unit said in a statement, adding it would not disclose details of the tentative deal.

Unifor’s talks with the Detroit Three automakers in Canada are separate from the UAW’s coordinated U.S. action that led to about 12,700 workers going on strike last week against one assembly plant at each company.

The U.S. strikes, heading into their sixth day, have halted production at plants in Michigan, Ohio and Missouri that produce the Ford Bronco, Jeep Wrangler and Chevrolet Colorado, alongside other popular models.

Analysts expect plants that build more profitable pickup trucks such as Ford’s F-150, GM’s Chevy Silverado and Stellantis’s Ram to be the next strike targets if the walkout continues.

Many UAW workers are most concerned about the tiered wage structure that they say has created a yawning gap between newer and older employees, forcing some to work two jobs to make ends meet.
