As a senior employee of @JohnDeere, I’ve been asked multiple times by friends and family about the ongoing strike and how it’s affected me and my work. I wanted to take a moment to publicly share my thoughts regarding the strike and Deere’s response thus far: Some background in case you’re unaware: Currently ~10,000 John Deere plant workers have walked out in protest of a new contract that would deliver sub-inflation raises and eliminate pensions for new hires.
