Ford Motor Co. of Canada’s two-year delay to the start of electric-vehicle production in Oakville, Ont. will at least triple the time on layoff for the plant’s 3,200 unionized workers. And the fallout of the major scheduling change will extend well beyond the walls of the assembly plant, as workers across the automotive supply chain continue to bear the brunt of the auto industry’s choppy transition to EVs.
Despite the production delay, the company will stick to its original schedule for the planned retooling project. Work is expected to start in earnest in early May, after the final Ford Edge crossovers roll off the current assembly line in Oakville. Payne said Unifor is focused on seeing income support for members extended for the full length of the retooling. The union has requested another meeting with the automaker “as soon as possible” to address the issue, she added. Without pointing to specifics, Ford Canada President Bev Goodman said the company was “committed to taking care of our valued Oakville employees.”
Vanessa De Matteis, spokesperson for the Ontario ministry of economic development, job creation and trade, said the province has received assurances from Ford Canada that employees in Oakville “are taken care of.”
