Ford workers have pleaded for governments to assist the ailing car industry after another 350 job losses were announced at the company's Victorian plants.
The job losses, sparked by a downturn in demand for the large six-cylinder models produced locally, will take effect in November at Ford's Geelong and Broadmeadows plants.
A disappointed Australian Manufacturing Workers Union said this would bring the number of job losses in Victoria's car industry over the past three years to 4,500.
The AMWU also said there had been 100,000 manufacturing jobs lost across Australia in the past 10 years.
