Just thought I'd share the video for those interested. This was on yesterday, as part of their series "The Real 24 - One Day in the Life"... (see link below) Nothing earth-shattering said, but I thought it was nice to devote 5 minutes of 1/2hr broadcast to this fairly balanced report about Ford, the workers, etc... http://abcnews.go.com/Video/pl ayerIndex?id=4134130 |

Jmarx, excellent video. jjaba took the tour recently and it does give a view of the factory, a new look at an old process. jjaba was in the old buildings on school tours in the 1940s. Today, Ford's Rouge employs 6,000 workers, down from the tops of 100,000 workers on that same site in the Golden years. To crank out 1,000 Ford F-150 trucks a day is quite a feat, eh. jjaba. |

i liked that some of the workers had that old "we ARE going to kick their ass!" attitude -- they came off strong and proud. kudos to them |
