DETROIT -- Ford on Tuesday reached a deal to alter its contract with the United Auto Workers union that helps the automaker keep costs in line with rivals but risks alienating rank-and-file workers, according to The Associated Press.

The agreement with the UAW's leadership includes a no-strike provision, a wage freeze for entry-level workers and work rule changes so employees can do more tasks.

But a $1,000 bonus and promises of additional work at some factories may be enough to get the pact through a ratification vote that likely will begin this week.
