Ford, which has been under fire for plans to spend $2.5 billion on a plant in Mexico, has agreed to invest $9 billion in its U.S. plants.
The investment pledge is part of the tentative labor agreement the automaker has reached with workers. The terms of the four-year pact were disclosed by the United Auto Workers union Monday.
The union seeks such commitments from every automaker because they tend to create and protect U.S. jobs.
GM (GM) committed to invest $1.9 billion it its proposed contract with the union, and Fiat Chrysler (FCAU) promised to invest $5.3 billion in the contract it just signed with its workers.
