Ford recalls small group of workers in preparation for factory reopenings
Ford's initial order to pause operations at these sites anticipated that business would resume on March 30, but the company has since extended closure protocols in North America and around the world.
"Ford's top priority is the health and safety of our employees, dealers, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders," said Kumar Galhotra, the company's president of operations in North America,released one week before the factory shutdown's original reopening date."In light of various governments' orders to stay and work from home, Ford is not planning to restart our plants in the U.S., Canada and Mexico on Monday, March 30 as originally hoped.
Vehicles produced by Ford Motor Company are situated along a conveyer belt at its Chicago Assembly Plant in June 2019. Alongside all Ford manufacturing facilities in North America and elsewhere, the plant suspended operations in March due to concerns about transmission of the new coronavirus.Ford applied similar mandates to close factories in dozens of countries, including South Africa, India, Thailand and Vietnam throughout March.
When Ford announced initial factory closures in mid-March, it introduced the formation of a Coronavirus Task Force between the three companies to initiate a coordinated response effort.
