Fain also called for the the general public to visit or join picket lines on Saturday to offer support and even supplies or music. Ford executives responded Thursday afternoon to the walkout at the automaker's most profitable plant by calling out the thousands of people affected, both inside and outside the company, and to say that further sweeten its offer would endanger Ford's ability to grow.Indeed, Ford Blue president Kumar Galhotra said, on the economics, the company has nothing left to offer, flatly stating in response to a reporter's question, “We have reached our limit.
“We provided product commitments for every UAW factory and provided job security commitments. It would change the lives of our employees for the better,” elaborated Galhotra. “As a company if we go further, we risk the ability to invest in the business and profitably grow.”
