DETROIT (AP) — Members of the United Auto Workers union moved closer to approving a contract agreement with Stellantis on Friday as two large factories in Detroit voted overwhelmingly in favor of the deal. A vote-tracking spreadsheet posted on the union's website showed that 68.4% were in favor of ratification, and the contract was leading by more than 9,600 votes with only three small facilities yet to cast ballots. Voting at Jeep and Ram vehicle maker Stellantis doesn't officially end until Tuesday.
