Let's see if I can beat Delaware Watch to the punch on this one, so I can at least deny Dana bragging rights.
The Snooze Journal today has the story of Chrysler telling local plant employees that they can no longer park their non-Chrysler automobiles near plant entrances, but now have to place them in a marked-off lot a considerable distance away.
[Worse still, the UAW is apparently not fighting this action.]
This is an example of non-physical coercion on the part of an employer, and gratuitously mean-spirited coercion at that.
The employer is saying, "The salaries we pay you are not yours to expend freely, because if you don't purchase our products we will penalize you."
As much as I hate to quote you, Dana, and give you the satisfaction, this is "stealing labor."
This is the sort of corporatist, fascist decision-making that gives honest businesses a bad name.
And this, after Chrysler has chiseled for years to get tax breaks just to stay in the State.
