Ford spokesperson confirmed that these aren't layoffs, and workers are being reassigned to other plants.
Ford’s shake-up of its electric vehicle plans didn’t end after it delayed its battery production goals and cut investments in its Model e division last year. Reports out of Dearborn, Michigan, now suggest that from next week onwards, Ford will drastically reduce the workforce at the plant that builds the F-150 Lightning electric truck.
The Dearborn automaker expects another 700 workers to take the $50,000 retirement package that the United Auto Workers and Ford negotiated after last year’s labor union talks. As the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center loses two of its three crews, the Michigan Assembly Plant now gains a third crew. This rejig comes after Ford slashed about 700 jobs at the EV plant in October 2023 citing issues with supply-chain and quality checks.
