The agreement follows the pattern set with Ford last week and Jeep maker Stellantis over the weekend.
The strike led to 8700 workers walking off the job at Ford's Kentucky truck plant in Louisville.
The deals will last four years and eight months and include 25%.
General pay raises and cost of living adjustments.
Combined, they bring the wage increase to more than 30% over the life of the contract.
All three deals must still be approved by the local unions.
Those votes are expected to take place sometime this week.
The tentative deal also means production of a new vehicle here in Kentucky.
Governor Andy Beshear, his office, says Ford plans to begin making a new electric vehicle at the Louisville Assembly plant.
And the Kentucky truck plant will continue to make the F-Series super duty, as well as the expedition and navigator, including new hybrid EV models.
In a statement, Beshear said, quote, This is great news for our hard working UAW families and for Kentucky.
We're pleased to see Ford continue its longstanding commitment to our workers and our future.
We are continuing to build that better Kentucky.
We all want, end quote.
