Ford to cut one in five jobs in the UK
Ford has announced plans to cut 1,300 jobs in the UK over the next two years, a fifth of its total workforce in the country. Ford is cutting back on development staff as it faces an uncertain economic future and prepares for the transition to electric vehicles. The announcement comes less than two years after Ford closed its engine plant in Bridgend. Developing new electric cars is an expensive process - in which Ford plans to invest some $50bn over the next few years. A total of 2,800 engineering jobs are to be cut across Europe, most of them in the UK and Germany.
