re: #140 Targetpractice
Certainly Ford’s labor practices had nothing to do with respect for the worker. Although he cultivated an image of being a protector of the worker, during the Depression, when sales of the Model A fell sharply, he slashed work hours and many jobs were outsourced to low-waged factories. Eventually, after the Dearborn Massacre of 1932, in which several workers were gunned down, he was called the Despot of Dearborn.
