Ford workers' resolve unshaken after a month on strike for fair wages
-
UAW workers have been on strike for 30 days outside Ford's Michigan Assembly Plant, vowing to persist despite dropping temperatures and bad weather.
-
Workers have lost significant income during the strike, receiving only $500 strike paychecks instead of normal wages. But they remain committed to ending tiered wages.
-
Ford has offered a contract with over 20% wage increases but workers are holding out for more, saying they previously gave up wages to help the company during the recession.
-
Some workers are taking extra jobs and sharing work to get by financially during the strike, which they say brings them closer together.
-
After a month on strike, workers say their resolve is as strong as when the walkout started, and they'll keep picketing as long as it takes to get a fair contract.
