Chrysler started what workers at its Warren Stamping Plant are calling the “Awful Work Schedule” Monday—minus one of the local union’s chief agitators against the new plan.
Skilled tradesman Alex Wassell, a 20-year employee with an unblemished record, was suspended two days after workers held a spirited picket in front of the plant a mile north of Detroit. A few days later he was fired.

Man, the bosses got no fear. They can do anything and the workers just have to suck it. Setting up these terrible "flex" hours that are inhuman for workers to adjust to - you can't do it, it just screws up your whole life. But it's good for the company's "bottom line". Fuck their bottom line.

Then you get this:


In the plant, as workers scramble to adjust to their new hours, plans are under discussion for a petition and a collection—but not another picket outside the plant.

Jees, a petition and a collection, but no picket. When the company can just fire your ass without cause, workers have to have some serious backing...and they got none. (Edit to add) Where in hell is their goddamned union!

Shit, this is going to get worse - I can't see how, but I know it will...
