(Reuters) – A majority of Deere (NYSE:) & Co workers voted against a six-year labor contract that was tentatively agreed with the United Auto Workers (UAW) earlier this month, the U.S. tractor maker said on Sunday.

The agreement on wages and employee benefits covered approximately 10,000 employees at 14 locations in Iowa, Illinois and Kansas.

The company stated that John Deere is fully committed to the continuation of the collective bargaining process and added that normal operations will continue.

Chuck Browning (UAW Vice President) stated that “90%” of members rejected the agreement between John Deere and UAW on October 1.

He stated that a strike deadline was set for Wednesday.

Browning earlier this month stated that the contract brought significant economic and quality benefits to the healthcare industry.
