Ford lays off 700 who were building electric version of F-150 | CNN Business::Ford is laying off about 700 workers who build the F-150 Lightning, the electric version of its best-selling pickup truck, and unlike other recent layoffs this one has nothing to do with the ongoing strike by the United Auto Workers union.

Would a company ever admit to laying off workers because of a strike? Seems like a sure fire way to lose in court.

They've already said they would fire around 1000 of those striking workers. So this does not seem to be a concern.
