   Ford Motor Co. asked 106 more employees at Sterling Axle Plant not   
   to report to work Monday, the automaker announced.   
      
   This brings the layoff total to 268 at the Michigan facility, Ford   
   said.   
      
   The latest layoffs are a consequence of the strike, because Sterling   
   Axle Plant must reduce its production of parts that would normally   
   be shipped to Chicago Assembly Plant and Kentucky Truck Plant, both   
   of which have workers on strike, Ford said.   
      
   "Our production system is highly interconnected, which means the   
   UAW’s targeted strike strategy has knock-on effects for facilities   
   that are not directly targeted for a work stoppage," Ford spokesman   
   Dan Barbossa said in a release.   
      
   By close of business Monday, Ford had about 16,600 workers striking   
   at three factories in Michigan, Illinois and Kentucky plus 2,580   
   layoffs at 10 sites related to the layoffs in Michigan, Illinois and   
   Ohio. The targeted strikes against Ford, General Motors and   
   Stellantis, which owns Jeep, Ram Trucks, Chrysler and Dodge, began   
   Sept. 15.   
      
   Earlier Monday, Ford Executive Chair Bill Ford urged the UAW   
   leadership to bring an end to the strike with what he and other Ford   
   executives have called a record UAW contract offer.
