The jobs were the best they’d ever have: collecting union wages at Ford, one of America’s most storied companies. But women at these 2 Chicago plants were treated like property or prey.http://nyti.ms/2yYi5nt

Others, like Terri Lewis-Bledsoe, said that when she spoke of abuses, she was told by the union to stop complaining because she was "going to make a name for herself” http://nyti.ms/2BzejUw pic.twitter.com/duraF8cznK

This information is so disappointing. I'm not a union supporter, but statistics have shown how unions in some industries have allowed women to gain an equal footing with men, but if women are being abused and degraded within the organization, then its total hypocrisy.

As a man who grew up in a household full of women, they were always told to never compromise themselves for the sake of money. My grandma knew it would be hard for her daughters to live with the scars of knowing they gave themselves over for the sake of job.

Many targets of workplace violations seem not to know where to start. Tweeting offences as they occur to Congressional reps, police, gov agencies, advocates, corporate, etc. is one way to start. Imagine if
@SenGillibrand called on them to do so. Things would get done. Yes?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

SO many
#MeToo
stories reflect this Hobbesian choice; of those who had to make it, they hope their children never know. If they find such choices were made - for their benefit - they often turn their backs on their mothers. Not to mention peers, law enforcement, media.Thanks.

Sexual harrasment & retaliation is real across industries, but no one had to sleep with anyone because it was a challenge to arrange child care. Victim's/target's failure 2 consistently unite, organize, report, & contempraenously publicize ensures survival of the culture.

Why couldn’t she keep a job based on competence? She CHOSE to sleep with the boss to to increase her job security, because obviously she wasn’t that good at her job. That is consent.

They should both get punished or neither, because it was consensual. She coerced him just as much as he coerced her.

Women have power over men between their legs, and they wield it unethically and dangerously to themselves and others. It’s like bribery, bribery is illegal, so sexual coercion should be illegal for both or legal for both. A deal is a deal.
