“
By taking away our Police Interceptors, we would be doing harm to their safety and making it harder for them to do their job. Again, this is why, given our insights, new capabilities and leadership, I believe these unfortunate circumstances present Ford with an even greater opportunity to not only innovate new solutions but also leverage our unique position to support the dialogue and reform needed to create safer communities for all. I do appreciate people speaking their mind to me on this issue – it helped me generate this note to explain why we are continuing our commitment to police forces all over the world in our trusted products. Thank you for caring so deeply about the Company and our people, and for all you do for Ford.””
A simple F U would of been better.
It’s hard to believe a CEO of a major corporation actually had to send out such a note.
PS to Human Resources: Find something to get rid of the SOBs.
Is a “group of employees” more than two?
Whoever signed that request to stop police car production also provided a list of the first to be fired.
He’ll be ousted by the Board and replaced with some one who will.
Nice response, it might have added that they will reinforce the exterior to further protect the cops from violent Leftist rioters and Democrat sympathizers.
Unions derived their existence from marxism....the same marxism behind BLM and ANTIFA.
We are in a fight for our existence. If the marxists topple the US, it is game-set-match over for global freedom.
The world will be plunged into 100+ years of human misery.
Remember, our Founders could only create this because the King could not extend his forces strongly enough here.
With aircraft, missiles and other tech, that no longer applies. We would be done.
It’s not easy trying to convince your employees that the only source of job security and career advancement is a profitable company. By taking away the police interceptor vehicles from the product line will cost employees their jobs.
Is this originating from the union?
And yeah!....stop making cars for White people.
In the South we just say “Bless your Heart” when an Idiot says something stupid.
A nice way of tell those morons FU and ESAD...
Fire them.
Actually a simple, “then go work somewhere else, and when your daughter is being raped, your house being broken into or someone trying to kill you, you can thank Ford for making the best patrol car to save your worthless asses!” would have surfficed.
According to the letter Ford’s Black employees are seeking action by July 15. “We cannot claim to support the fight against systemic racism while supplying and supporting the very systems that perpetrate violence against Black Americans…We, the undersigned employees, call for Ford to cease development, production, and sale of all custom police vehicles and products. Our resources can and should be diverted to other forms of first response and public safety,” the group writes.
It would be interesting to ask, "What resources, and where would you divert them? Specifically? Is there an investment opportunity?" (Or was that just feel good word salad?)
Color me unimpressed.
