Workers Get Extended Break
05/09/08 MRC/CJ
As gas prices drive truck sales down, Kentucky Truck Plant
workers will have to endure rolling, temporary furloughs
in the coming months, Ford Motor Company and United Auto
Workers representatives said Thursday.
Week long layoffs begin this month on the body
and paint lines where F-Series Super Duty trucks are
produced, according to Ford spokeswoman Angie Kozleski .
She declined to comment anything beyond this month.
However, UAW Local 862 Vice President Todd Dunn
said the furlough system will continue in June. July will
bring a month long plant shutdown instead of the
traditional two week summer break.
