Additionally, the contract maintained the workers' premium-free health care plan, included a cost of living adjustment, and guaranteed a retirement bonus of up to $50,000. This would have meant an hourly pay of $30 for the top-tier workers at the plants, which would rise to $31.84 after five years. The proposed contract would have enacted immediate wage increases of 5 to 6 percent for all workers and subsequent 3 percent raises in both 20. Despite UAW negotiators stating that the deal would result in "the highest quality health care benefits in the industry" and "significant economic gains" for the workers, on October 10, union members voted by over 90 percent to reject the contract proposal. On October 1, the existing contract between the union and company expired, but the two sides agreed to a temporary extension while negotiations continued. Additionally, on September 14, some John Deere workers picketed the John Deere World Headquarters in Moline, Illinois in response to some of the issues they had with the company. However, after receiving the proposal, the UAW members voted by about 99 percent to authorize strike action against the company.
Going into October 2021, the UAW had been negotiating a new labor contract with John Deere for several weeks, and the previous month, they submitted a proposal that union and company negotiators had agreed upon to the union members for a vote. 10,000 of its employees at 14 different facilities in the United States (including 7,200 at seven factories in Iowa, three in Illinois, one in Kansas, and one distribution center in Colorado, Georgia, and Illinois.) are represented by the labor union United Auto Workers (UAW). The company is the world's largest manufacturer of farm equipment and employs about 27,500 people in the United States and Canada. John Deere is a United States-based agricultural and heavy machinery manufacturer. The strike was John Deere's first in over three decades. On November 17 the workers approved a new 6-year contract officially putting an end to the strike.
These employees are members of the United Auto Workers (UAW) labor union, which had been negotiating a new contract with John Deere for several months. The 2021 John Deere strike was a labor strike in the United States that began on October 14 and ended on November 17, and involved about 10,000 employees for John Deere, a manufacturer of agricultural and heavy machinery.
