title: Back to the Bargaining Table for John Deere and the UAW
description: It is unfortunate the two sides have not yet reached an agreement. As we stated in a prior edition of the AIR – harvest is a critical time for farmers. A strike could cause a disruption in product and parts needed to keep harvest moving forward smoothly. We are hopeful that the parties can quickly come to an agreement and everyone will be singing Kumbaya!  Listen to the video to see what both sides have to say.

# Back to the Bargaining Table for John Deere and the UAW

 Oct 13, 2021

![](https://air.certifiedagdealer.com/hubfs/John%20Deere%20-%20workers%20in%20plant%20w%20JD%20hood.jpg)

In a vote this past Sunday, John Deere workers with the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW) rejected a six-year contract that would have impacted pay and benefits for more than 10,000 employees of the agricultural machinery manufacturer. The vote again set the stage for a strike, as a tentative agreement that was reached on October 1 expired at midnight Wednesday and picketing is now underway.

Watch this short video report to learn more about what happened and where the negotiations stand.

EDITOR’S TAKE:

It is unfortunate the two sides have not yet reached an agreement. As we stated in a prior edition of the AIR when reporting on this matter – harvest is a critical time for farmers. A strike could cause a disruption in product and parts needed to keep harvest moving forward smoothly. We are hopeful that the parties can quickly come to an agreement and everyone will be singing Kumbaya!
