Ford stops work on battery factory in Michigan.
The plant’s 2,500 future workers are now pawns in ongoing UAW talks, despite Ford not explicitly saying so:
“We are pausing work and limiting spending on construction on the Marshall project until we’re confident about our ability to competitively operate the plant.”
The UAW wants battery workers paid the same high wages as other autoworkers, but Ford says that it already can’t compete with Tesla or foreign-owned EV makers in the US due to high labor costs.
