Last year Ford negotiated a new four-year contract with the UAW that saw pay increases and thousands in bonuses, tied to record profits in the U.S. that contributed mightily to a record $10.8 billion in operating profit for 2015. Executive bonuses take into account the company’s financial performance as well as meeting goals in areas such as quality and productivity.
