Chief executive Kathleen Ligocki told the news agency that it has set a deadline of 1 May to reach an agreement. Talks have reportedly been stalled for four months.
Tower is asking for wage cuts of up to 23%. The UAW, the International Union of Electrical Workers-Communications Workers of America and the United Steelworkers of America have all threatened to strike if Tower voids the contracts.
A strike would threaten production at Ford.
