Ford has sent home 400 more workers on layoff at its Livonia and Sterling Heights facilities because of the cascading effects of the UAW strike, now in its third week.
The car giant notified around 350 workers at the Livonia Transmission Plant and a further 50 at Sterling Axle Plant, both in Michigan, not to come back to work until further notice on Wednesday.
Industry insiders like former auto supply chain executive Jan Griffiths, say Friday’s update from the UAW could deepen the hole, making it harder to climb out of.
