Cars/Light trucks Economy Manufacturing


Cleveland, Ohio – Ford Motor Co. is shifting more production from cars to sport utility vehicles(SUVs), but unlike General Motors’ announcement Monday, the Ford shift shouldn’t cost any jobs.

Ford officials told workers that it would end a 650-job production shift at its Flat Rock, Michigan, plant because sales of Mustang muscle cars and Lincoln Continental luxury cars have fallen, making Flat Rock a one-shift plant. And it will end a 500-job shift at its Louisville Assembly Plant (LAP) in Kentucky in response to softening sales of the aging Escape crossover. LAP will go to two shifts from three.

Where did you just get what you posted? Below is the entire article from your link...……why are you posting misinformation or at least links to the statements you are making? Also, you do realize that Ford is cutting back and eliminating all car manufacturing except the Mustang right? Would make sense that they move works to trucks/SUV's. I see nothing that will hinder Mustang production.

• Ford cutting a shift at Louisville Assembly Plant and Flat Rock Assembly Plant.
• It is not making any job cuts.

Ford is cutting a shift at two of its plants, but the automaker's avoiding layoffs by moving workers to other facilities, the company said Wednesday.

The automaker is shifting about 500 workers from its Louisville Assembly plant to its Kentucky Truck Plant — both in Kentucky — to increase production of the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator, which are both experiencing strong sales.

It will also move 500 jobs from its Flat Rock Assembly Plant to its Livonia Transmission plant, which makes transmissions for several vehicles, including its F-150 full-size pickup and the Ranger, a mid-size pickup Ford is reintroducing after 8 years. Both plants are in Michigan.

Ford makes the Ford Escape and the Lincoln MKC, both compact crossover vehicles, at the Louisvile Assembly plant, and the Mustang sports car at Flat Rock.

Higher demand for pricey pickups and SUVs, have helped automakers, particularly American ones, weather falling sales this year. Ford is especially strong in larger pickups and SUVs. Ford Expedition sales in October increased 36 percent from one year ago, while Lincoln Navigator rose more than 80 percent over the same month in 2017. At the same time, sales of the Escape fell 7 percent, the MKC 8.5 percent, and the Mustang 6 percent.

"Our collectively bargained contract provides for the placement of all members displaced by the shift reduction and, after working with Ford, we are confident that all impacted employees will have the opportunity to work at nearby facilities," said United Auto Workers Union vice president Rory Gamble.

We are waiting on our 2019 GT to be built just a little worried that cut from 2 shifts to 1 shift for Mustang production might be why it`s taking so long but it did not say when the shift cut back starts. We will be glad when it gets delivered

Yeah, but you info is not accurate to the title. The move of the workers has not even happened yet or is in the process of happening. So any delays are not due to what you are posting. Also, there is nothing in the articles that show that the moving workers will impact Mustang build times.
