Ford Motor announced that it will be laying off an additional 150 workers in Michigan as a result of the ongoing United Auto Workers (UAW) strike. This brings the total number of furloughed workers to 2,730. The UAW strike at Ford’s Kentucky Truck Plant prompted the new layoffs at a Michigan axle plant. Currently, 16,600 Ford employees are on strike at three assembly plants, including the Kentucky Truck Plant, which is the company’s largest plant globally. The targeted strike against Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis began on September 15.
