The UAW threatened action against Ford if it doesn’t reverse course.
- According to a letter seen by Roadshow that Gerald Kariem, vice president of the UAW’s National Ford Department, sent to Local 2000 union members, Ford “decided it will not honor its promise to add a new product” to the Ohio Assembly Plant.
- The plant was part of the union’s 2019 bargaining effort, and Kariem said the union won a major victory in securing a $900 million investment and a promise from Ford the OHAP would be the home of a next-generation vehicle starting in 2023. Kariem said in his letter Ford now “intends to build the next-generation vehicle in Mexico.”
