"Rossie Judd, an eight-year veteran on the plant, claimed that workers smoking near her on the floor aggravated her asthma, making it at times impossible to breathe."

Sure, the industrial chemicals used in the assembly process have no effect on her asthma!

"Judd filed an unfair labor practice charge and a disability complaint with two federal agencies. Both are pending."

Yep, rather than ask her fellow worker to smoke in another area and work out a way to cover them during a break, she turns to daddy government to protect her. Weakling!

Why is the headline and article focusing on Ford, then the example used is from Chrysler? Seems to be that Judd is the only example that they could find out of the big 3!

Ford is the one making the no smoking change at this time.... Rossie Judd worked for Chrysler where she filed the action..... Chrysler did try to accomadate her by moving her to the paint section which was non smoking but that impacted her asthma also. She was subsequently laid off in Aug. of 2003 and filed for unemployment and supplementary benefits along with a NLRB unfair labor complaint.... The NLBR has since denied her complaint.....

Do a google on Rosie Judd and you'll get several articles
