Two Brazilian labor judges have banned U.S. carmaker Ford from mass layoffs as it closes its manufacturing facilities in the country.

The two injunctions were issued on Friday night, according to Agencia Brasil news agency.

The ban applies until negotiations with trade unions succeed, according to the report.

The judges in Taubate in the state of Sao Paulo and in Camacari in the state of Bahia imposed fines of up to 100,000 reais (about $18,626) per affected employee for violations. Ford can appeal the ban.

I wonder how long the process takes to appeal the ban and if it is even worth it to appeal it. I wonder if Ford ever says.....we should have just stayed in the US.
