Ford Motor Company of Canada has announced it will increase the production of face shields at its Windsor facilities.
Last month, Ford said it would make two-million face shields for frontline healthcare workers and first responders.
On Thursday, it announced it was increasing production to make 2.75 million face shields.
"I am incredibly grateful to our members at Ford in Windsor for doing a tremendous service for their community and their country during this national emergency," said Unifor National President Jerry Dias on April 6. "I commend Ford for working with Unifor to ensure that strict health and safety protocols are in place that will ensure our members can manufacture badly needed medical supplies and return home safely to their homes and families."
About 200 workers at the Windsor plants were called back to make the face shields.
