So, Ive been watching stuff regarding the Ford buyout of its entire workforce... they say that in hand with the buyout will likely be more plant closings.
My question is this... unless ford (or substitute the name of any other domestic maker there) has been making SUBSTANTIALLY fewer cars these years than they dd in the past, which I cant find to be true... then where does the capacity come from to produce all of the vehicles that the companies sell?
Are the companies really in good enough shape to close down a plant, buyout the employees, then startup again in canada or in a Union-free enterprise? That all takes money.
I can see that 'shared platform' cars being the norm miht allow two different vehicles to be made in the same plant... but is that how its all to be done? Or am I missing something?
It seems tome that unless theyre planning on selling a lot less cars after their attrition, that they must have a good plan up their sleeves... what do you htink theyll do? move to canada/mexico? open union-free plants?
Thanks,
JMH
