This is the best summary I could come up with:


It says work to overhaul the plant will begin in the second quarter of this year as planned, but the launch of the new three-row electric vehicles to be produced at the factory won't happen until 2027.

Unifor said it wants Ford to consider all possible options to lessen the negative effects on workers from the "substantial delay" in the EV production launch at the Oakville plant.

Our members have done nothing but build best-in-class vehicles for Ford Motor Co. and they deserve certainty in the company's future production plans," said Unifor national president Lana Payne.

"We value our Canadian teammates and appreciate that this delay will have an impact on this excellent team," Ford president and CEO Jim Farley said in a statement.

The company's spending plans were first announced in 2020 as part of union negotiations, with workers seeking long-term production commitments.

The Detroit Three automakers eventually agreed to invest in Canadian operations in concert with spending agreements with the Ontario and federal governments.


The original article contains 474 words, the summary contains 166 words. Saved 65%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
