Has the Ford/Icon Automotive dilemma been sorted?

[johnydep]

Does anyone know if this was resolved, and how it has affected Ford production?

Ford car workers stood down : 20 -July-2005

Ford Australia as stood down 1600 workers at its Broadmeadows plant and intends to stand down a further 1600 today at its Geelong plant if the dispute with a supplier is not resolved. Icon Automotive, maker of battery boxes and air-intake valves, among other things, was placed in administration last week. There is concern among car industry unions that Icon workers entitlements may not be met. A Ford spokesman said; "We're definitely looking at two full days of lost production, including 500 cars per day. This is a direct result of the Icon dispute." Toyota has said its staff must attend work today, but may stand down 2500 workers if the dispute is not resolved today. Holden said it had no plans for stand-downs at present. The federal government is concerned that car makers may source products from countries with low-labour costs such as China. The government has called for meetings of auto component makers to discuss this issue.
