DETROIT-Ford Motor Co. will continue to seek changes to union work rules and consider changing plans to build certain models in union plants in the U.S. after the United Auto Workers union rejected contract changes that would have lowered the company's labor costs, people familiar with the company's thinking said.
The auto maker will continue talks with the union to find ways to cut costs, and may look at moving some production to lower-cost locations if it can't remain competitive in the U.S., this person said.
