Renegade Ram Worker Fired

The driving force behind the 12 man protest at Chrysler's Warren, Michigan plant has gotten the boot. The Detroit News, which broke the story, reported that protest organizer Alex Wassell was suspended without pay after nearly 20 years on the job. The protest was not sanctioned by the UAW, and led to the leaking of some documents outlining quality problems with the 2013 Ram 1500, a crucial product for Chrysler. Since Wassell's suspension, groups like the ACLU and Labor Notes, a union activist group, have spoken out about the firing, which Chrysler described as being due to "…engaging in activity constituting or appearing to constitute a conflict with the interest of the company." Meanwhile, the UAW has been curiously silent on the whole matter, which gives us an indirect example of the inherent conflict that occurs when the labor union and the corporate owners are one and the same. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
