UAW should shutter all Ford plants as a response.
Hope the Union members can see through it and UAW doesn't back down.
I wonder how the NLRB will respond.
- Hopefully inline with other recent decision...
  Ie with a pair of brass balls
  
  From what I have seen, the NRLB and the DoL generally have the most solid scrotal metal around. I think they are getting tired of all the corporate double-speak and bullshit as well.
Good, they can get unemployment benefits now, and Ford gets to pay for it.
Lame, paywalled article.
- Yeah, I've known about 12ft for awhile, but many sites are wising up to that trick and it has stopped working for more and more of them (e.g. financial times or NYT, I don't recall which exactly, was one I recently ran into where it won't work).
Isn't this illegal?
- What, you think workers have rights here?
  
  If the layoffs are for valid reasons, such as the plant not requiring a shift or reduction in cars being sold. It might be legal.
- I hope it is and that Ford gets to pay them all for lost wages and the process costs. Fuck em.
Hopefully theyve planned for this and continue the escalation of strikes
Fuck Barrons.
