The United Autoworkers Union has reached a tentative agreement with Ford. This comes after almost two weeks since the UAW reached a tentative agreement with General Motors that was ratified by the rank and file last week. The financial terms of that are used as a pattern by the union to get similar terms from Ford and Fiat Chrysler. Ford has 55,000 hourly workers in the US, more than the 46,000 who went on strike against GM for 40 days. There was no work stoppage at Ford.Big issues in talks with GM were terms for lower-paid workers who were in-progression or temporary workers. Similar to GM, Ford says 34% of its workforce is in-progression and 6% is temporary. The terms of this Ford agreement are not yet known.Here’s the official word from the UAW:The UAW Ford National Negotiators, UAW President Gary Jones along with UAW Vice President Rory Gamble, Director of the Ford Department, have announced that they have reached a proposed tentative agreement.“Our national negotiators elected by their local unions have voted unanimously to recommend to the UAW-Ford National Council the proposed tentative agreement,” Gamble said. “Our negotiating team worked diligently during the General Motors strike to maintain productive negotiations with Ford. The pattern bargaining strategy has been a very effective approach for UAW and its members to secure economic gains around salary, benefits and secured over billion in major product investments in American facilities, creating and retaining over 8,500 jobs for our communities.”“Out of respect for our members, we will refrain from commenting or releasing full details of the agreement until the UAW-Ford Council leaders meet and review the details,” Gamble added.Ford also released this statement: "Ford can confirm the UAW’s announcement that the UAW and Ford have reached a proposed tentative agreement on a four-year contract. Further details will be provided at a later date."UAW President Gary Jones thanked the national negotiators for their hard work. “Vice President Gamble, his staff and the Ford negotiating team have worked tirelessly to reach an agreement that preserves job security and rewards UAW Ford members for their quality work,” said Jones. “These were long and hard hours, but I feel confident they were able to secure a contract that protects our member’s future.”The UAW-Ford National Council will meet to go over details of the proposed Tentative Agreement. If adopted as a Tentative Agreement, it will go to all Ford hourly and salary members for a ratification vote. 2565

The United States Army wants more soldiers. Last year, the recruitment goal was gaining 76,500 new recruits. The Army didn’t make that mission, enlisting only about 70,000 soldiers. This year, the recruitment goal is getting 68,000 new pairs of boots on the ground. Finding qualified candidates, however, isn’t what it used to be. “Ten years ago, it was pretty easy to find qualified individuals,” says U.S. Army Sgt. First Class Robert Dodge. “In the last couple years, it’s gone down.”In an attempt to help with recruiting, the US Army is trying something brand new this year: it built a gaming trailer on an 18-wheeler that will be taken across the country with the idea of getting more young people interested in joining the military through video games. “It is a way to attract a younger audience,” Sgt. Dodge says. “Sixty percent of Americans have some sort of gaming console.”Sgt. Dodge says 71 percent of Americans between the ages of 17 and 24 do not qualify to for military service. The reasons range from drug history to health problems with obesity being the number one disqualifier.Now, recruiters are shifting gears and setting their sights on a new pool of potential soldiers: gamers.“We’re looking for that 17 to 24 year old and we’re looking for the best and the brightest that America has to offer,” Sgt. Dodge says.So far, this tactic appears to be raising some interest in attracting potential soldiers.At 20 years old, Adrian Bugarin is in the age range the military is looking for.“Definitely something to think about, especially with this, because I want to get into computer science, too,” he says. “I know they do stuff with college. So, I’ll definitely look into that.” 1708

Three more parents pleaded guilty in federal court on Wednesday, the latest to fall in what authorities called the largest collegiate admissions scam ever prosecuted.Gregory Abbott, founder and chairman of a food and beverage packaging company, his wife, Marcia Abbott, and Peter Jan Sartorio, the founder of a frozen burrito company, all went before a federal judge to formally enter their pleas to conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud.Prosecutors said evidence included recorded phone calls and emails that show all three communicating directly with the mastermind of the scheme, William Rick Singer, to get their children guaranteed path into the prestigious college of their choice.As part of their plea agreements, prosecutors are recommending the Abbotts serve 12 months and a day in prison, while Sartorio would serve between zero and six months.Prosecutors said the Abbotts paid Singer a total of 5,000 in purported donations to his foundation to inflate their daughter's scores on both the ACT and SAT exams. Mark Riddell, who has also plead guilty for his role in the scam, corrected her test scores for the ACT in March and then for the SAT subject tests in October."Do you know how she did on her own," Gregory Abbott was heard on a recorded phone call asking, according to prosecutors. "Yeah, I do. She scored in the mid-600s," replied Singer.The Abbott's daughter scored 800 on the math portion and 710 on the literature, both scores out of a possible 800, prosecutors said.In court in Boston on Wednesday, the Abbotts they understood the scores would be corrected but did not know the details of how it would happen. "I didn't know the system. I didn't know how things were implemented," Marcia Abbott said.Meanwhile, Sartorio, a packaged food entrepreneur, paid Singer ,000 in cash to have Riddell correct his daughter's ACT exam in June 2017, prosecutors said.After the exam, Singer, who was now working with the federal government, answered a call from Sartorio and told him the Key Worldwide Foundation (KWF), the charity that fronted as a means to collect payment for the scheme, was being audited.Singer told Sartorio that he wouldn't show up in the alleged audit because he paid cash but wanted to "touch base" in case the IRS reached out to Sartorio."All I know is I paid bills that were sent to me, invoiced," Sartorio said, according to a criminal complaint.Sartorio's attorney, Peter Levitt, told the judge, "Like the Abbotts, Mr. Sartorio didn't know the details or the information about payments Mr. Singer made to other people."Attorneys for the Abbotts and Sartorio declined to comment after court.On Tuesday, two other parents appeared in court to plead guilty.Gordon Caplan, a former partner and co-chairman of international law firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, pleaded guilty to paying ,000 as part of a scheme to cheat on his daughter's ACT.Agustin Huneeus Jr., a California vineyard owner, 2978

The Pentagon notified Congress Monday night that it has authorized the transfer of billion to begin new wall construction along the US-Mexico border, drawing immediate objections from Democratic lawmakers.A Pentagon budget reprogramming notification sent to Capitol Hill on Monday and obtained by CNN indicates that up to billion will go toward building 57 miles of fencing, improving roads and other measures on the southern border.The Department of Defense authorized the Army Corp of Engineers to begin planning and construction for the project Monday night. The department will direct the funds toward 18-foot-high fencing along the Yuma and El Paso sections of the border, according to a letter acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan sent to Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen.In February, President Donald Trump declared a national emergency in order to funnel billions of dollars to wall construction. As part of his announcement, he directed the use of counterdrug monies to partially fund new wall construction. Under the national emergency, other funds can also be dedicated to building the wall and related infrastructure, including military construction funds.Monday's announcement was just the first billion the administration is making available for wall funding. The administration said previously it plans to shift an additional .5 billion at some point in the future.These initial counterdrug funds will ultimately flow from the Department of Homeland Security to the Army Corps of Engineers to begin construction.Senate Democrats immediately objected to the transfer of money to build fencing along the southern border to block drug smuggling.Every Democratic senator on the Senate Appropriations Committee's subcommittees on Defense and Military Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies signed on to a letter written to Shanahan objecting to moving billion in personnel funds to counter drug funds to go toward the wall. The senators say the Pentagon did not seek permission before notifying the committee of the transfer."We strongly object to both the substance of the funding transfer, and to the Department implementing the transfer without seeking the approval of the congressional defense committees and in violation of provisions in the defense appropriation itself," the senators wrote. "As a result, we have serious concerns that the Department has allowed political interference and pet projects to come ahead of many near-term, critical readiness issues facing our military."The letter was signed by Sens. Patrick Leahy, Democrat of Vermont; Dick Durbin, Democrat of Illinois; Jack Reed, Democrat of Rhode Island; Brian Schatz, Democrat of Hawaii; Jon Tester, Democrat of Montana; Patty Murray, Democrat of Washington; Chris Murphy, Democrat of Connecticut; Tammy Baldwin, Democrat of Wisconsin; Dianne Feinstein, Democrat of California; and Tom Udall, Democrat of New Mexico. 2962

The top US diplomat in Ukraine, Bill Taylor, told Congress in new testimony Wednesday that President Donald Trump cared more about an investigation of former Vice President Joe Biden than he did about Ukraine.Taylor on Wednesday revealed in his opening statement he'd learned additional information, testifying at the first House impeachment hearing that his staff was told the President's interest in Ukraine was the "investigations of Biden."Taylor testified that an aide told him of a phone conversation Trump had with US Ambassador to the European Union 570
