Apparently only about 10% of the employees at that plant drive non Ford products.

Where did you get that percentage? I just checked the article and it doesn't say (or even insinuate) any such thing. I'm curious where you got the 10%.

Actually the only part where I saw anything similar to that is this post by Lokibob, where he tries to make his point by saying 'they COULD' have 90% of the workers driving Ford.....' Is that where you got your 90%-10% split? If it is then that is quite funny ....it would show how normal statements turn into 'fact' in just a few degrees of seperation. Here is the post from the FReeper:

I agree with the property rights, but it seems that everyone has missed a very important point. No place in the article does it say how many non-ford cars have to park elsewhere. They could have 90% of the employees driving Fords, and want to reward them for buying the company product. It could affect 2 new hires and the immigrant applying for the nut tightening job only. NO one knows by the facts in the article.

From Click On Detroit:

The rule to drive only Ford vehicles is limited to the Dearborn Truck Assembly Plant, and will affect about 300 of the 2,800 employees at the plant

Near the bottom there's a quote of 15%. A little difficult to believe, but not impossible. I worked at a Visteon plant in Plymouth Mich, and given it's Visteon, it was formerly a Ford plant, and I'd say 20% of the cars were not Ford products. Of course there were quite few Jaguars (spl?)
