The Ford Atlanta assembly plant won't be shining this year. The weeds are standing

That's encouraging but I hope that they are talking about more than just productivity.

Productivity is a big issue. The less time it takes to build a vehicle the lower the costs to produce the vehicle, thus the company with the lower cost can set the market rate for vehicles.

But this is also good news.
