WASHINGTON: The United Auto Workers union criticised Ford Motor's plan to build a new vehicle in Mexico rather than at an Ohio plant, suggesting it might be in violation of the automaker's contractual commitments.

Ford issued a statement on Tuesday that did not directly address the union's criticism but said in a letter to employees on Monday that conditions had changed since 2019.A company spokeswoman said Ford had invested more than US$185 million since 2019 at its Ohio Assembly Plant, including plans to increase capacity to build additional Super Duty trucks. The plant has about 1,600 UAW-represented employees.

Automotive News cited a person familiar with Ford's plans that the automaker had been considering building electric vehicles in Ohio and had instead decided to assemble them in Mexico. Ford declined to comment.
