[Seedersandleechers]

And they are keeping the UAW! Good news for people looking for jobs and experienced autoworkers.





Ford will invest $1.1 billion and add more than 1,600 additional automotive jobs to the Claycomo assembly plant over the next four years.

Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon today said in a statement the tentative labor agreement between Ford Motor Co and the United Auto Workers will be a “historic development for next-generation manufacturing in the state.”

The agreement is subject to ratification by UAW members before it takes effect.

Ford plans to invest $1.1 billion into upgrades and expansion at Claycomo. This expansion will include building a next-generation vehicle, expanding current operations, and adding additional facilities at the Claycomo facility. In total, these expansions will bring the Claycomo workforce to approximately 5,400.
