Ford transfers halted as injunction blocks 355 workers
Ford Motor Co. faces a temporary restraining order blocking transfers of about 355 foundry workers from its closed Michigan Casting Center to Brook Park Ohio. Judge Frank Gorman set a Jan. 25 hearing after Thurman Payne of UAW Local 1250 filed suit alleging seniority and contract violations. Payne hailed a day of victory while Ford indicated no transfers were planned before Feb. 6 pending further talks. About 900 Brook Park workers remain on indefinite layoff amid ironclad union contention over remaining Michigan staff movements.

GM and UAW leaders plan further talks as Ford and GM pursue parallel negotiations, with concerns over sharing plans and anti trust rules.
