Ford to temporarily stop output at Mexico plant amid supply shortages

Ford’s manufacturing facility in Hermosillo, Mexico will pause production from May 3 to May 17 because of supply shortages, three people knowledgeable with the matter said on Wednesday.

Information about the Ford stoppage was revealed in an internal advisory which was shared among union members at the plant.

The union advisory said workers will get 75% of their pay while the automaker will pause output.

The auto industry has been hit by worldwide shortages of chips and has seen halting of plants elsewhere in the recent times.
