Statement on Ford Plant Visit from VP Laura Dickerson, Ford Department Director

The autoworker at the Dearborn Truck Plant is a proud member of a strong and fighting union—the UAW. He believes in freedom of speech, a principle we wholeheartedly embrace, and we stand with our membership in protecting their voice on the job. 

The UAW will ensure that our member receives the full protection of all negotiated contract language safeguarding his job and his rights as a union member. 

Workers should never be subjected to vulgar language or behavior by anyone—including the President of the United States.
