Or any time when employees are being forced to work during a pandemic.
Can I just say how relieved I am that COVID didn't explode through employees in the Cuautitlan plant when they reopened? Like when Tesla (among their many other shady labor practices) just plowed ahead and opened their Fremont factory early? At the end of the day, this car is still a luxury purchase for me, and I would have felt pretty atrocious thinking that people got sick in order to fulfill my desire for a neat new toy.

Perhaps Ford should offer North American delivery to our European friends. They can come here, pick up their Mustang Mach Es at a US or Canadian Ford dealer, tour around the US or Canada (depending on which country they get the car in), then drop it off at the same dealer for shipment to the EU?

That assumes that they would be able to travel here or back . . . I don't think that is possible now.

I don't think anyone is being forced to work. My dad works for an auto manufacturing supplier and they are getting paid extra to work. They get a 10% bonus each week they work their full 40 hours. Sounds like a fair deal to me, cover your face and wash your hands, simple stuff.

Agreed for Ford.
That was a reference to Tesla forcing their employees to come in or lose their jobs.

I'm not sure, but I think it was a jab at Tesla. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/06/25/tesla-plant-firings/

(ChasingCoral beat me to it while I was looking up the url reference...)
