Ford to Lay Off 700 in Michigan, Citing Poor Sales
Ford said it would lay off 700 workers at its plant in Wayne, Mich., to compensate for declining sales.
Ford said it would cut a shift at the plant, where it makes the Ford Focus compact car and C-Max crossover.
The decision affects 675 hourly workers and 25 salaried employees.
The first 200 workers will be laid off at the end of June; another 200 at the end of July and the rest at the end of September.
Ford expects that the first 200 laid-off workers will be redeployed quickly across the roughly 15 assembly, stamping, engine and transmission plants in southeast Michigan, filling in for workers on vacation, said Ford spokesperson Kristina Adamski.
