Ford announced plans last year to spend $1.8 billion to transform its Oakville assembly plant into a hub for electric vehicle manufacturing including vehicle and battery pack assembly. The delay will give the consumer market more time to develop, the company said, and allow for further development of EV battery technology.Some employees will remain on site during the plant transformation but there will be layoffs, Ford spokesman Said Deep said Thursday.The company said it will work with Unifor, which represents 3,200 workers at the plant, to mitigate the impact the delay will have on its workforce.
“I want to be very clear here. Our members can be assured that we will push the company to explore every single possible opportunity to lessen the impact of this decision on them and their families.”‘They did everything they could’: Family sounds alarm over fatal Strep A case in N.S.
