Ford Motor Company is not planning to restart its plants in North America on March 30 as originally planned, the Michigan-based automaker said Tuesday. This decision was made as the company continues to consider restarting operations in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak. "Ford’s top priority is the health and safety of our employees, dealers, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders," Kumar Galhotra, Ford's president of North America, said in a statement. "In light of various governments’ orders to stay and work from home, Ford is not planning to restart our plants in the US, Canada and Mexico on Monday, March 30 as originally hoped. We are assessing various options and working with union leaders – including the United Auto Workers and Unifor – on the optimal timing for resuming vehicle production, keeping the well-being of our workforce top of mind."
