The bottom line will talk.
Ford loses fleet sales and they will have to layoff employees.
The other manufacturers shouldn't hire them to protect themselves.

They won't be able to fire them because of the union; this is why unions are pieces of shite that should have gone away long ago. There are worker protection laws in place today, unions only function now is to protect those who should be fired or let go due to incompetence.

Why can’t we arrest all non police supporters? What do they have to hide that makes them not like police?

This would not stop me from buying a Ford.

Ford being POS is what stops me from buying a Ford.

I'd find out exactly who those employees are and fire them if they are unwilling to perform the duties that earn them a paycheck by Ford.

Or just come out with a statement that says "anyone that doesn't like what we make is free to look for employment elsewhere."

How they do it in a union plant is change job titles a little, furlow everyone, and make all workers reapply.
The plant still runs as people still have their jobs until the day HR and the supervisors finalize who they want to keep.
The ones that do not get a position are permanently reduced in force.
Easy to do right now with social distancing on assembly lines.

I’m to the point where I don’t care about your causes or your feelings. Don’t be a jerk and we can probably get along. Unless you’re a cat person.

If they feel that strongly about it, they should quit.


This, if they ask the ceo to stop and he says no and the employees continue to do their job and make the cars then move on, issue over.

If they stop working, then they lose their job.

I have a feeling the first scenario will be the one that plays out.

Ford CEO Jim Hackett has told employees in a letter that he doesn’t think it’s “controversial that the Ford Police Interceptor helps officers do their job” and that Ford will continue the business.


This is the only reasonable response.

Who are these idiots who think we don't need police?

racial justice


There’s literally no more racially just nation on the entire planet than the one we live in.

Furthermore, I think they need to do some digging on Henry Ford and his racial views
