On Wednesday, after 41 days on strike, the UAW and Ford reached a tentative agreement.
The Rouge plant in Dearborn, Michigan is where Ford Chairman and fourth generation controlling family member Bill Ford spoke about negotiations for the first-time last week.
That speech perturbed UAW President Shawn Fain, who responded with a threat.
What comes nextGetting the deal done with Ford was a big hurdle, according to a third source with knowledge.
The Ford CEO said the deal the UAW was looking for would bankrupt the company.
