Ford Motor Company Institutes COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates as Detroit Auto Workers Revolt with Walkouts
Big League Politics ^ | Nov 6, 2021 | Shane Trejo

The Ford Motor Company is moving forward with a COVID-19 vaccine mandate despite a recent walkout of hundreds of employees that took place on Wednesday.

Hundreds of Ford workers were joined by workers in other automotive companies, such as General Motors and Chrysler, for the successful walkout protest that occurred at the GM Tech Center in Warren.

A clip from the protest can be seen here:

Despite the protest, the Ford Motor Company has announced they are continuing with their plans to institute COVID-19 vaccine mandates in order to coerce their employees into submission for the experimental jab.

Big League Politics has received a letter from a Ford whistleblower sent by corporate leaders to workers declaring that “most U.S. salaried employees will be required to be fully vaccinated by Dec. 8, 2021.”

“The science and the data tell us the vaccines offer critical protection against COVID-19 and its variants and our goal continues to be for all of our team members who can, to be vaccinated,” they stated, noting that “we must continue to do everything we can to protect each other” to justify the vaccine coercion.

The whistleblower, speaking to Big League Politics under the condition of anonymity for fear of repercussion, said that the internal email had “no mention of unpaid leave,” and workers were forced to hear on the news that the noncompliant would be placed on unpaid leave.

In order to receive the personal medical information from Ford employees, they threatened negative performance reviews and the reduction of bonuses. Now, they have what they need from most workers in order to enforce vaccine mandates.

“Please continue to navigate through this period in a manner reflective of our values. In particular, ensure your team members feel they have been treated with empathy and respect,” Ford sent in their email threatening employees in order to obtain their medical records.

The whistleblower pointed out that Ford is doing the federal government’s bidding in order to secure BEV subsidies from the Biden regime, which are part of the infrastructure package that was approved by Congress on Friday.

The White House and Democrats in Congress are dangling $555 billion in tax breaks and other special bonuses related to the production of electric vehicles in front of Ford. The whistleblower believes this is the 30 pieces of silver that Ford is taking to sell out their workers.

“Ford is going along with this mandate, so they can get all that government BEV money. They’re selling out their employees for a payday from the government. We were all so proud when Alan Mulally and Ford did not take a government bailout in 2008. We aren’t proud anymore,” the whistleblower said.

“It should also be noted that people against the vax reporting and the mandate are not just people who are not vaccinated. Vaccinated employees are also against the mandate and vax status disclosure,” they added.

Ford is another corporation built into a global powerhouse because of the American people that is now selling out our freedom and submitting to COVID-19 tyranny. Big League Politics will continue to support this worker-led movement to save freedom against the corporate-government borg pushing globalism.

Ford wants to move production to Mexico. Trump put a cold stop to that but they will try again under the globalists controlling Biden.

It is. I was referring to “regular” cars as well as parts.

With all the parts shortages it wasn’t like they were doing much anyway. Ford may just use this as a reason to idle some plants and save money.

Cray Havoc. Let loose the dogs of war. Or the unionized workers in this case.

As the old football announcer Keith Jackson said: “Whoa, Nellie. Katy bar the door.”

Let us ALSO not forget that FoMoCo and the Ford Foundation are two ENTIRELY SEPARATE, and disconnected entities.

Great gamesmanship on Ford’s part. Bravo.

They waited until the ruling came out from the Fifth Circuit to quash the mandate. Several plants are down because of parts problems.

In this way they can signal to the politicians that Ford is following the mandate (that is not in effect) while allowing the unions a “walk-out” with no production. Walk-outs are not paid by either unemployment or Ford.

Great play ever since the Obama Admin tried to make them take government money to keep in business.

These workers should think about forming a union to advocate for them
