Chennai, Sep 21 (TIWN) The meeting with Ford Motor Company's senior official for a relook at the corporate decision to shut down vehicle production in India ended in a failure, said a Union official at Ford India Private Ltd.

The workers union had asked for a meeting with the top officials of Ford Motor Company involved in the decision of closing down three of the four plants in India. 

"We had a meeting with an official who is part of Ford Motor Company's IMG (International Markets Group) on Monday. We were told the decision to close down the Indian plants is final and there will be no change in that," a Union leader told IANS. 

According to him, the workers are for protection of their jobs and not for any lump sum compensation.
