CHICAGO – Roughly 330 employees at Ford Motor Company’s Chicago Stamping and Lima Engine plants are temporarily out of the job.
Ford credits the strike for the layoffs, which they said is not a lockout. The automaker had previously said its production system is interconnected and the strike is impacting facilities and departments that aren’t the ones directly targeted.
