But Truby said the move is not related to fears of a recession and it does not affect Ford's June announcement that it would invest $2 billion in Michigan to create 3,200 union jobs, including nearly 2,000 jobs throughout three assembly plants to increase production of the all-electric F-150 Lightning pickup.
"So net-net we’re adding more jobs in Michigan," Truby said. "It’s a rebalancing because those jobs that we talked about adding were hourly employees. The jobs we’re talking about today are white collar. On an absolute basis, we’re still adding employment in Michigan if you look at both commitments.”
