Over 300 workers at the Brook Park Ford will be laid off Monday due to the ongoing United Automobile Workers’ (UAW) strike at other locations.
“Our memberships are making a sacrifice in the hopes for a better contract and more equitable agreement,” said Wallace. “I mean, it’s an unfortunate thing right now, but somebody’s got to stand up, so here we are.”Friday at 2 p.m., UAW President Shawn Fain provided an update on negotiations.
This, along with other progress with all three automakers, led to no additional plants going on strike Friday. “But we’re working through that, so it’s obviously non-stop phones, people calling us, stopping in here, ‘What’s going on? Why? What? Where?’” said Wallace.
