Ford Workers in Oakville Facing New Round of Layoffs

The plant will go quiet for three weeks starting on Monday

The plant is one of six Ford facilities in North America that will see production cuts because of a shortage of semiconductor mircrochips.

The global shortage is blamed on the pandemic which has led to a huge demand for electronics including laptops and gaming consoles.

This is yet another blow for automakers at the plant.

Last year the GTA facility closed because of the coronavirus.
