This is some damning news if this is true, despite still being in the middle of a pandemic, UAW is saying that Ford is not following COVID-19 protocols at the F-150 plant.
Kansas City UAW posted its complaint
on its Facebook page. In the complaint it says:
"We are in the process of writing safety complaints that will be elevated to address all failures of the company to follow COVID-19 protocols and to provide safe working conditions for our members.
