The move might not be related to the strikes.
Figuring out what’s going on at Ford Motor or the other Detroit-Three auto makers isn’t easy. Everything needs to be filtered through labor negotiations, a slowing economy, supply-chain issues, and the electric vehicle transition.
Canceling an entire shift due to weak demand might be an overstatement. “We are adjusting the schedule at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center because of multiple constraints, including the supply chain and working through processing and delivering vehicles held for quality checks after restarting production in August,” Ford said in an emailed statement.
The strike shouldn’t be impacting the Lighting. About 16,600 Ford workers represented by the United Auto Workers are on strike. The strike began on Sept. 15. It has been expanded a few times, including on Wednesday at Ford’s Kentucky Truck Plant, which builds Ford super-duty trucks. Other affected products are Broncos and Explorers.
