Ford plans to hire 2,100 employees for the new iteration of the Glendale plant, and a company spokesperson said Monday that all those laid off will have the "opportunity to apply" for those new jobs.

Real question here, how many employees has Ford hired at these Battery/EV assembly plants already?
"Opportunity to apply" - That's rich.
No, why don't you just transfer them since they are already employees. Why go through the trouble of hiring new people? Classic example of the people running the company NOT being smarter than you. They are actually quite mo--nic. Just call it a layoff...but can't do that because...reasons.
