Unfortunately for me, this puts me on layoff until they come back. I’m in a UAW Union, but do not receive any benefits such as strike pay. I’m going to have to file for unemployment while I find a new job, until they call us back in.

I support the strike, but it seems unlikely that Ford will give in to their demands. My job is pretty stressful, but I kind of like it for the challenge it is.
