WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Ford Motor Co. said Tuesday it signed a tentative, four-year labor agreement with the United Auto Workers union. The new deal, once ratified, calls for 12,000 new hourly jobs to be added in the U.S. by 2015, and includes work once outsourced to Mexico, Japan and China. That estimate is nearly double Ford's previous outlook, and also included $16 billion in U.S. investments to design, engineer and produce more new and upgraded vehicles and components. Shares of Ford fell 1% in recent trading to $9.27.
