Many of the 12-thousand Ford employees working at the company’s Louisville assembly and truck plants spent part of their Labor Day wondering if they’d be striking soon. United Auto Workers Local 862 President Todd Dunn said when he was hired 28-and-a-half years ago, a Ford job was a career. He says it’s not that way anymore because of company policies.
“Cost of living is another huge one, we gave up cost of living back when our companies were struggling to succeed. So we had to help out our retirees, we sacrificed our cost of living, we did things to help the company.”
