Ford Plant Gets Ready To Add Workers

Ford Plant Goes Round-The-Clock

BY JACLYN TROP, THE DETROIT NEWS

Ford Motor Co. is offering temporary layoffs at its Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne to allow newer workers to train as it moves to round-the-clock hours for the first time in more than 10 years.

The move will allow new workers to train on the line for several weeks before the plant adds a third shift in May. About 200 workers are expected to accept temporary layoffs during March and April as the plant prepares to add nearly 1,200 employees.
