Ford lays off 700 who were building electric version of F-150 | CNN Business::Ford is laying off about 700 workers who build the F-150 Lightning, the electric version of its best-selling pickup truck, and unlike other recent layoffs this one has nothing to do with the ongoing strike by the United Auto Workers union.

    Could be the striking workers have disrupted component flow enough that these workers were running out of things to do.

      Not due to the strike, apparently.

        Would a company ever admit to laying off workers because of a strike? Seems like a sure fire way to lose in court.

          They’ve already said they would fire around 1000 of those striking workers. So this does not seem to be a concern.
