Naturally, there is the war front of Rita’s labor union, and also it\u2019s a place that spends time with colleagues. However, it\u2019s a sorry thing, her movement yielded a death. A husband of one of core members of the union is suicide. It\u2019s a huge sacrifice of her movement.<\/p>\n

The one of most shocking things is that Ford tries to extend the strike with intentions. The company moves all sawing machines and takes photographs for their advertisements. It indicates not only sound employer\u2019s attitude, but also disconsolate employees\u2019 mind.<\/p>\n
