Seen some posts stating that Avon Lake is losing the $900 million investment awarded at contract, anyone able to confirm? Some info is coming directly from the union.

Wasn’t Avon Lake slated to get 2 crossovers in the uaw contract. 2 midsize EV’s???

Letter floating around that Ford officially pulled / withdrawn the OHAP commitment of 900 million as was part of the last UAW contract.

We no longer have an "America 1st" advocate and that 900 mil commitment is going to Mexico.

Didn’t Ford announce a big investment for Flat Rock in 2019 and then pull it? I think it was 850 million to build EVs there. 

 

Not sure how political this move is if the same thing happened under two different presidents.

Yes, and there was one before that.  Twice Flat Rock was supposed to get a new pair t shop and it was cancelled.  Oh well, I guess they have to pay for their choo-choo train station project up the road.

55 days in office or the basement and all the socialist promises are coming true... Ford didn`t waste any time realizing the bad orange man is gone and the real tuff guy was back. Hey maybe Russia will start building 611`s & 625`s? F250`s from that big Ford plant in Venazuela (<--umm kinda) Transit's from? 

 

But wait the IUAW won`t let that happen without a fight. Until we all go out on strike the IUAW will need another half hour of due`s to build up their golf outing/equipment fund.

Unfortunately, the UAW has been rolling over for Ford the past 20 years.  No fight whatsoever when plants were being closed right and left.  It seems this last UAW contract was shoved down memberships' throats.
