   Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas greedy socialist unions.   
   You, aided by Joe Biden and other communists brought this on   
   yourselves.   
      
   Just as production at Ford factories is returning to normal after a   
   41-day strike, the automaker has announced layoffs at the Louisville   
   Assembly Plant that are scheduled to last through November, a Ford   
   spokeswoman confirmed to the Detroit Free Press on Saturday.   
      
   An estimated 1,600 workers are affected by the latest action, which   
   the company says is because of parts-related issues, according to a   
   labor relations memo obtained by the Free Press. The automaker   
   employs 3,483 workers at the plant — approximately 3,227 of them are   
   hourly — building the Ford Escape and Lincoln Corsair, according to   
   the Ford website.   
      
   In late October, Ford offered two weeks unpaid personal leave to   
   some UAW members at Louisville Assembly.   
      
   The UAW strike against Ford ended Oct. 25 when the union and   
   automaker reached a tentative agreement. Ford workers around the   
   country are now voting on the deal. Louisville Assembly never went   
   on strike. The Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville, which builds the   
   highly profitable Super Duty truck, Ford Expedition and Lincoln   
   Navigator, was the last of three Ford factories to strike. Workers   
   walked out on Oct. 11.   
      
      
   Striking Kentucky Truck, which generates $25 billion in revenue a   
   year, was key to the UAW strategy to get to a deal that would end   
   the strike at Ford and also General Motors and Stellantis. Everyone   
   would notice when F-Series truck production was impacted, UAW   
   President Shawn Fain said in a Facebook Live presentation.   
      
   "It’s time for a fair contract at Ford and the rest of the Big   
   Three," he said at the time. "If they can’t understand that after   
   four weeks, the 8,700 workers shutting down this extremely   
   profitable plant will help them understand it.”   
      
   Tentative deals have since been reached at Stellantis and General   
   Motors.
