Ping pong strike begins in Louisville

The Louisville Courier Journal reports this morning that car hauler union workers at Ford in Louisville have gone on strike after rejecting a three-year contract over job security issues.

This means management and the union worked out an agreement, but a majority of the workers weren't ready to face reality.

Here is the key passage from the news story:

"The strike, which involves about 435 workers, is not affecting production at the plants, said Ford spokeswoman Angie Kozleski. She said the auto company had contingency plans in place but declined to describe the measures."

Our U.S. Senate candidates should probably weigh in on this one.
