The car manufacturer Ford announced this Tuesday that it wants to cut 1,000 more jobs at its factory in Cologne (west of Germany) due to the low demand for electric vehicles, although it still has to negotiate this cut with the workers’ representatives. The American firm announced today that starting in January, it will only produce in Cologne during one shift, compared to the current two shifts. Ford workers in Germany went on strike in May to protest a cut of 2,900 jobs by the end of 2027 in administrative tasks, development and other areas, but which did not affect vehicle production. The Cologne plant currently has around 3,900 workers and Ford indicated that it expects the reduction of 1,000 jobs to be carried out through voluntary redundancies with compensation or early retirement.
