With the US based Ford Motor Company deciding to shutdown its
Maraimalainagar car plant near here, many employees/workers of Ford
group in India are on the lookout for jobs.
"With
Ford deciding to shut down its Maraimalainagar plant, workers may be on
the look out for a job," a Ford India Private Ltd worker told IANS.
The workers are negotiating with Ford India for a better severance package.
Apart from the car plant, Ford also has a global technology and business centre in India.
In
September 2021, Ford India announced its decision to wind down vehicle
assembly in Gujarat's Sanand by the fourth quarter of 2021, and vehicle
and engine manufacturing in Chennai by the second quarter of 2022.
Ford India has four plants in the country -- vehicle and engine plants in Chennai and Sanand.
The
workers at the Maraimalainagar plant are also dejected at being left
out, as Ford India's Gujarat plant and its workers will be taken over by
Tata Motors' subsidiary Tata Passenger Electric Mobility.
"As
per our study of job seeker activities, 62.5 per cent of the
ex-employees of Ford have been actively searching for jobs in the last
one week," Aditya Narayan Mishra, Director and CEO, CIEL HR Services, a
human resources recruitment company told IANS.
About two per cent
of the erstwhile Ford employees have been able to find a job in the
last one year. Some of them have found employment opportunities in the
automotive sector and some in the IT Services industry catering to the
automotive sector, he added.
He said the data could be derived based on the changes, updates made online to the resume of the people registered with CIEL HR.
Companies
like Tata Motors, MG Motors and greenfield projects like Triton have
been evaluating these candidates, but the demand is not enough to absorb
all the jobseekers, Mishra said.
