From The UAW: Ford Worker Who Heckled Trump Kept Job, 'No Discipline' On Record

Grant Schwab at The Detroit News reports The Ford Motor Company Employee who heckled President Donald Trump during a January visit to Ford’s Dearborn Truck Plant still has his job and "has no discipline on his record," a United Auto Workers (UAW) Official has confirmed. "TJ, we got your back," UAW Vice President Laura Dickerson said during a Washington, D.C., speech Monday (February 9th). She was referencing TJ Sabula, a 40-year-old UAW Local 600 Line Worker employed at the Factory who called Trump a "pedophile protector." Trump responded by flashing his middle finger and twice mouthing, "F--- you,” at Sabula. The President also mouthed a popular catchphrase from his days on reality television: "You're fired." "Well, this ain't 'The Apprentice,'" Dickerson said, referencing the NBC program that featured Trump. Ford declined to discuss Sabula's status. "This is a personnel matter and we’re not going to comment,” the company said in a statement. The White House did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
