“Earlier this month, Ford Motor Company announced plans to lay off 1,000 workers in Germany as part of a wider reduction of 2,900 jobs, citing slower-than-expected electric vehicle demand and efforts to contain losses in its EV business segment.”
It’s coming…
600 from last restructuring + 2900 current restructuring + 1000 from shift cancelation until end of 2027 in europe
Ottawa is supposed to be massacred next week.
Originally they had planned to let go 2900 heads in Germany. This was part of a larger effort in Europe aiming at cutting 4000 heads in total until the end of 2027. The news regarding 1000 BEV production workers comes on top of this. As far as I understand it management hopes that generous severance packages will help to disband those workers until the end of 2025, leaving the plant with just one shift. It is obvious that this cannot go on for long.
