Detroit carmakers send office workers home while factories — including one where an employee tested positive for the coronavirus — keep running.
Detroit’s three automakers are asking office employees to work remotely while pushing production staff to keep running many of their factories — including one where a worker tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
In Canada, employees at the company’s minivan assembly plant in Windsor, Ontario, have refused to work since midafternoon Thursday after a fellow worker who had possible secondary contact with someone with the virus went into self-quarantine. There are no confirmed cases at the facility. Just last week, Mark Stewart, Fiat Chrysler’s chief operations officer for North America, visited Kokomo to christen a new investment at a separate, idled transmission plant that will be repurposed for engine production. He said the company’s crisis teams were monitoring supply risks and that travel had been curtailed due to the virus, but operations were “progressing OK.”
