Ford to Delay N.A. Plants Resuming Production

In a statement just issued Ford Motor says, “In light of various governments’ orders to stay and work from home, Ford is not planning to restart our plants in the U.S., Canada and Mexico on Monday, March 30 as originally hoped.

“We are assessing various options and working with union leaders – including the United Auto Workers and Unifor – on the optimal timing for resuming vehicle production, keeping the well-being of our workforce top of mind.

“We will provide additional updates as details are confirmed,” Kumar Galhotra, Ford’s president of North America.
