The BlueOval SK battery plant in Glendale has been under construction for six months, but as construction moves along, people who live nearby said they're left with unanswered questions.
“We need enough capacity for all of our commercial customers on various vehicle lines, and it’s pretty much a whole battery plant,” Ford Pro CEO Ted Cannis told WDRB News in a recent interview.
Battery plant wages have become a flashpoint as the United Auto Workers nears a September deadline to negotiate a new labor deal with Ford and the other Detroit Three automakers.
