Ford Motor said on Friday it will layoff another 495 workers in Ohio and Michigan because of the impact of the ongoing United Auto Workers strike against two of its assembly plants.

The No. 2 U.S. automaker said the new layoffs include 470 at two Ohio engine plants starting Monday, bringing Ford’s total to approximately 1,800 employees impacted by strike-related layoffs.
