Ford Motor engineers at a Michigan facility voted to join the United Automobile Workers after the automaker cut overtime pay for the 182 employees, the leader of the union effort said.

The vote, held yesterday, was 91 to 62 with 24 contested ballots that were not counted, said Jim Knott, the Ford engineer who led the drive. Most of the salaried employees are based at a center in Allen Park, Mich., he said, with some posted temporarily at assembly plants.
