Wildcat walkout hits Ford Lorain plant
About 3,000 workers in Ford Motor Co Lorain passenger car assembly faced a short stoppage as 50 body buck crew members walked out last night. Most returned after pleas from union and company, but 20 stayed to picket gates this morning. Production on passenger cars continued, while truck assembly kept to its eight hour schedule. A disciplinary action against a union committeeman sparked rumors of the uproar amid tense labor talks.
