7. Perhaps that's one of the reasons GM is closing that facility, to purge the toxic employees.

9. That's not the plant they are closing.

That happened in Toledo and the plant they are closing is in Lordstown. Opposite sides of the state.

[Demsrule86]

16. That is simply not true. My hubs worked in Lordstown and so did son...if you were racist, sexist or

homophobic (including Transgender) and acted out...you were fired and escorted out...very tough rules.

2. This administration has absolutely no enforcement of anti-discrimination laws.

I hope this lawsuit is successful insight of the kinds of judges implanted by the GOP.

3. WT living F

I hope they take GM for millions!

It is long time past when these hay seeds take their racist attitudes and go back and sit in the corner!

The adults will take it from here!

WTF

4. Such nice people to work with, not. Horrendously stoopid.

[ProfessorGAC]

5. I Would Have Added Three More O's

That's how dumb this is. It's more than stoopid. It's stooooopid!

6. And people wonder why many of these workers voted for Тяцмр .

Racism was a huge part of it.

[TheBlackAdder]

8. GM probably knows how fucked up that facility is, and the workers may have brought it on themselves.

.

I'm sure there were a lot of incidents brought to the union and to management.

So many that the facility was deemed unsalvageable and the only way to purge them was to close the plant.


That factor probably weighed into the decision to close the facility.

14. The GM assembly plant

in Lourdstown is being closed. The Toledo GM Powertrain facility is still open.

11. In many instances, unions are built on white supremacy. And because we live in a white supremacy,

the institutions within it have to work really hard to be truly free of racism. It's stories like these that put the lie to the theory that economic equality solves all ills, and highlight the important role of intersectionality in any progressive effort.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

12. Also LMAO at the idea that a company would close an ENTIRE PLANT because of racist actions

by employees.

[Demsrule86]

17. Total crap...in my opinion. And my husband worked for GM as does my son.

All that economic worry. Snort.

If you're worried about your wallet and your first impulse is to attack people of color - you're a racist. You think your white skin means you are owed and that you come first over everyone else (white privilege) - to include white women (hierarchy of racism - and racism always - always - has a sexist subtext riding shotgun....scratch a racist, find a sexist...scratch a sexist, find a homophobe...scratch a homophobe, find an angry insecure bully....there's a hierarchy to bigotry and it is all rooted in fear and ignorance - it's like a family tree of ugly behavior and stupidity interconnected and related.)

15. when the 'president' is a white nationalist, his followers feel emboldened.

[rockfordfile]

18. If this is true, then GM should be boycott for supporting this sick un-American crap

There was "white supervisor at a meeting said: “What’s the big deal about nooses? There was never a black person who was lynched that didn’t deserve it.”

A supervisor said this? That would mean that the GM uppers supported it. There were also swastikas painted on restroom stalls.

If true, this is a big story.

19. it's the year 2018 and this crap?
