Shifting Ford's Ka replacement assembly to Poland will affect few Valencia workers - union

News agency reports yesterday included confirmation from Ford that it would shift production of the Ka from Spain to Poland, as was known from Ford’s agreement to build the current version’s replacement alongside Fiat’s forthcoming 500, sharing a common platform and powertrain, at Fiat’s Polish plant, next year.

According to the UGT union representing workers at Ford’s Valencia plant, the transfer to Poland would affect only a small number of Ford workers – 3% of some 7,400 or some 220, and the union’s general secretary Gonzalo Pino told the AFP news agency that agreement on alternative work for the Valencia plant was likely before year's end.
