<p>The deals won workers a record 25 per cent jump in wages over the 4-1/2-year contract and allow the companies to restart their profitable truck assembly lines.</p>

<p>The deal with Stellantis follows a template set by UAW and Ford. The deal&nbsp;will amount to total pay hikes of more than 33 per cent when compounding and cost-of-living are factored in. The contracts will start with an initial increase of 11 per cent.</p>

<p>"We look forward to welcoming our 43,000 employees back to work and resuming operations," Stellantis said on Saturday.</p>

<p>The Ford and Stellantis agreements will have to be ratified by all workers.</p>

<p>The deal includes an agreement to reopen Stellantis' assembly plant in Belvidere, Illinois, which will now build midsized trucks, UAW President, Shawn Fain said in a video on social media. The trucks could compete against Ford's Ranger and GM's Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon models.</p>
