Ex-Manager blows the Whistle on Ford over Job Set-asides for Relatives of Union Reps.

I don't know about you, but I always suspected that the hiring process at the auto plants was rigged. Here are jobs that pay a higher wage than 90% of other blue-collar jobs, but yet often employees are hired that are clearly below average intelligence, have circumstantial evidence of drug abuse problems, and the list goes on and on.

If proven, this can cause trouble for both the UAW and the automaker(s). Hiring based on buddy relationships is also a violation of EEO laws, so additional lawsuits are inevitable. Way to go folks.
