WASHINGTON, Feb 9 (Reuters) - The United Auto Workers union said a Ford worker who heckled President Donald Trump during a visit last month to a Michigan auto plant was not disciplined and kept his job.
The incident prompted Trump to raise his middle finger and shout profanity toward the worker who criticized Trump's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein controversy, according to the UAW and video posted online. Trump also told worker Thomas “TJ” Sabula he would be fired, said UAW VP President Laura Dickerson at a political conference. "Freedom of speech is real," she said, telling workers that Sabula "has no discipline on his record."
