The union said over half of the 14,000 affected members voted at the weekend.
The new contract gives Ford workers a structured pay increase over several years, various benefit improvements and agrees a process of job retention when a minivan plant closes in 2004.
Union attention now turns to settling the one remaining Big Three employment pact – with managers of Canadian DaimlerChrysler operations.
These should be interesting not least because DC reportedly has said it intends to stick with plans to close a van plant.
