A Ford Motor Co. executive on Friday carefully skirted high-stakes questions about how the resurging automaker will handle labor contract negotiations this year with its hourly workers.
Instead, John Fleming, Ford's executive vice president of global manufacturing and labor affairs, echoed recent remarks from United Auto Workers leaders, saying that the automaker and the union are "aligned" on the goal of ensuring that Ford remains competitive after a new pact is reached later this year.
Fleming, who spoke at the Governor's Luncheon which concluded the annual Kentucky Transportation Conference hosted by Kentuckians for Better Transportation, gave a brisk talk, using a PowerPoint and few notes, that touched on Ford's expanding reach around the world and its pride in having Kentucky manufacture some of its best-known products, the Escape SUV and Lincoln Navigator, among them.
