Not any longer, Ford sold Aston Martin March 2007. According to Wikipedia, Ford still has some ownership but doesn't completely control it any longer.

Your topic title is not correct ... It should read BMW cuts shifts for 26,000 workers - reducing hours worked -- not workers [at this time].
... maybe the're not cutting workers, but only their - say - fingers?
