The autoworker who tested positive for the coronavirus at Ford Motor Company’s Dearborn Truck Plant “had to be reminded numerous times by management and union officials to wear his mask while working,” Ford and UAW sources told the Detroit Free Press.
The worker’s positive COVID-19 test result caused the Dearborn, Michigan, plant, which assembles Ford’s F-150 trucks, to temporarily shut down on Wednesday so the facility could be deep-cleaned and individuals who were in contact with the infected worker could be sent home for a 14-day quarantine.
Manufacturing teams at the plant were sent a text message on Wednesday afternoon instructing all United Auto Worker (UAW) hourly workers to go home, the Free Press reported.
The Free Press reviewed a copy of a text message sent to a Ford employee which stated that the individual who tested positive was working “over the past 2 days” and “had to be reminded to put his mask on while working. Union official had one on one contact with employee regarding his not wearing a mask.”
