DEARBORN -- Ford Motor Company has reached a settlement in a 2006 lawsuit filed by former Ford employees. Under the settlement, Ford will provide free financial advice to more that 150-thousand employees and retirees, but will not pay financial damages to shareholders who suffered losses when the company's stock price fell by 80-percent between 2000 and 2006. The workers had claimed that the automaker should not have allowed its workers to invest such a large portion of their 401K plans in Ford stock.
