An insider at
US car producer Ford has stated that the company may have to shift the
production of its Ford Fusion vehicle from
Mexico to
US plants, and that more than 4,000 jobs will likely be provided in the
US by this move. At the current time, the Ford Fusion vehicle is produced at the Hermosillo plant in
Mexico which employs 3,335 personnel.
Meanwhile, talks between the United Auto Workers labor union and
US car producer Ford Motor Co. for a new labor contract are nearing a conclusion. Ford and UAW have both declined to give details on the talks. Ford's roughly 41,000 UAW-represented workers have high expectations for wages and bonuses because of the automaker's performance, while Ford expects to reduce labor costs at the talks
