Workers at Ford Motor plants have rejected contract concessions the company has said are necessary to remain competitive with other U.S. automakers. A plant in Kentucky and a plant in Michigan both voted overwhelmingly against the concessions on Friday. The UAW will announce the final results of the nationwide concessions vote today. Ford had promised to create or keep 6,000 jobs in exchange for a wage freeze for new hires until 2015.
