UAW loses grievance with Ford over "equity of sacrifice"
The unionized workers claimed that it was in their contract with Ford that they get the same wages and benefits given to salaried workers.
The UAW Ford Department announced the arbitrator's decision on its Facebook page.
There are about 41,000 UAW-represented Ford workers, all of them in the United States.
