Ford Louisville Assembly Plant UAW building chairman lashes out at workers for being “ungrateful”
Herb Hibbs, the building chairman for United Auto Workers Local 862 at Ford’s Louisville Assembly Plant (LAP) in Kentucky, lashed out in the tone of a cornered rat against “ungrateful” autoworkers in a letter sent last Thursday.
LAP is one of several auto assembly plants throughout the United States which are being idled due to a worldwide shortage of semiconductors used in brakes control modules. Workers had been complaining to the UAW to whom they pay dues to “represent” them because they were not getting their unemployment insurance claims resolved during the shutdown.
