Huh then why did Ford resist unionization till the last end.

Ford paid double or triple the prevailing wages for his work force, to drive wages UP, because he wanted to build a thriving middle class which could eventually afford to buy millions of his Model T's.

He was not interested in building a few "Stutz Bearcats" for other millionaires.

He "got it."

The RINOOBLs don't "get it." They are content to destroy the American middle class, our national economic treasure, in order to drive wages down.

The end point of this philosophy looks like Brazil, with vast slums, and executives flying above them in private helicopters, between their office buildings and ranches.

Uh do a google search with the keywords, "Ford, union, 30's".

There were many battles, some were actually bloody.

JMO, you try to use selective history.
