'Last, best, and final offer' | UAW and John Deere reach 3rd tentative agreement

MOLINE, Ill. — On the 30th full day of the strike, the UAW and John Deere have reached a third tentative agreement.

UAW released a statement on Friday, November 12, saying this new agreement includes "modest modifications" to the second offer which was previously turned down in a 55%-to-45% vote on November 2.

"John Deere and Company has made a last, best and final offer to the UAW negotiating team that includes modest modifications to the last tentative agreement presented for ratification," read the statement. "As a result, the UAW will present the Company's offer for ratification and, as has been the case throughout the bargaining process, will support the outcome as determined by our members."

The first tentative agreement was turned down by a 90%-to-10% vote on October 10, so it appears things could be narrowing down to a majority approval if that trend continues.

One source told News 8's Shelby Kluver that the decision on the third contract proposal could be decided on Wednesday, November 17, but UAW has yet officially announce a date.

As the strike continues voting information will be provided by the local union.
