IT’S THE BIG THREE HITS DE 11, THE RIPPLE EFFECTS BEGINNING AGAIN AS ONE AUTO SUPPLIER
ANNOUNCES LAYOFFS.
>> THAT AUTO SUPPLIER TELLS THE
STATE IT PLANS TO LAY OFF 230
WORKERS DUE TO UNFORESEEN
BUSINESS CIRCUMSTANCES. THANKS
FOR BEING WITH US. I’M KIMBERLY
GILL.
>> I’M DEVIN SKILL AND IN
TOTAL, ABOUT 19,000 UAW WORKERS
ARE STRIKING AFTER THE UNION
TARGETED 38 ADDITIONAL
FACILITIES ON FRIDAY. TOMORROW
PRESIDENT BIDEN IS SET TO VISIT
MICHIGAN TO TALK TO STRIKING
WORKERS. WEDNESDAY FORMER
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP PLANS TO
DO THE SAME. BUSINESS EDITOR
ROD MELONI JOINING US LIVE WITH
WHAT WE’RE HEARING SO FAR ABOUT
NEGOTIATIONS NOW, ROD. YEAH
DEVIN, THE NEGOTIATIONS ARE
ONGOING.
>> AND YOU MAY RECALL THAT FORD
WAS CLOSE TO A DEAL. WE THOUGHT
ON FRIDAY. THEY TALKED ALL
WEEKEND. WE UNDERSTAND THE
TALKS ARE MOST ACTIVE BETWEEN
FORD AND THE UAW, BUT GM AND
STELLANTIS STILL ARE TRADING
TALKS AT THE TABLE. AS YOU CAN
SEE, BEING OUT IN THE RAIN IN A
STRIKE IS NO FUN. BUT THERE’S
STILL OUT HERE WAVING THEIR
SIGNS AND GETTING HORNS TO HONK
AS THEY GO BY. LET’S TAKE A
LOOK ABOUT TAKE A LOOK AT A
REASON WHY IT IS THAT PERHAPS
WE ARE WAITING THIS LONG FOR
THAT FORD DEAL TO HAPPEN ON THE
FORD CONTRACT. THE UAW
CONTINUES WORKING ON TO DISCUSS
PUBLICLY ON FRIDAY ADDRESSED
MUCH, BUT NOT ALL THAT THE
UNION IS ASKING FOR. FOR
INSTANCE, FORD’S WAGE INCREASE
NOW OVER FOUR YEARS, IS ABOVE
20. IT ENDS TIERS, OFFERS AN
IMMEDIATE CONVERSION TO FULL
TIME FOR TEMPORARY WORKERS.
FORD HAS THE FEWEST OF THE
DOMESTIC THREE IN THAT
DEPARTMENT. THE COST OF LIVING
ADJUSTMENT FORMULA ABANDONED IN
2009, IS REINSTATED, GIVES THE
UNION THE RIGHT TO STRIKE OVER
PLANT CLOSURES AND ENHANCES THE
PROFIT SHARING FORMULA. WAYNE
STATE UNIVERSITY BUSINESS
PROFESSOR DR. MAREK MASTERS
TELLS LOCAL 4 SHAWN FEIN
BELIEVES THAT HE CAN WRING
STILL MORE FROM FORD, WHICH IS
WHY WE’RE STILL WAITING.
>> HE’S GOING TO WANT SOMETHING
NORTH OF 30% OR AS CLOSE TO
THERE AS POSSIBLE, AND I THINK
THAT MIGHT BE PART OF THE
HOLDUP. AND HE’S ALSO GOING TO
HOLD OUT FOR SOME MORE
ASSISTANCE TO RETIREES.
>> HE’S STILL THERE’S
CONSIDERABLE COMPETITIVE
CONCERN ACROSS THE INDUSTRY.
THE DOMESTIC THREE ALREADY
PAYING NEARLY $10 MORE AN HOUR
THAN THE TRANSPLANTS LIKE
TOYOTA AND HONDA AND $20 AN
HOUR MORE THAN TESLA. MASTERS
SAYS FORD ISN’T WORRYING ABOUT
THAT RIGHT NOW. I MEAN, I THINK
IT’S A DANGER.
>> IT’S A RISK. BUT YOU HAVE TO
TAKE CALCULATED RISKS AT THIS
TIME. THEY DON’T HAVE THE
LUXURY, IF YOU WILL, TO
WITHSTAND A STRIKE THAT IS
GOING TO CRIPPLE THEIR
BUSINESS. AND THEY NEED TO GET
THIS SETTLED AND MOVE ON AND
FOCUS ON ELECTRICAL VEHICLES AS
.
>> AND SO THAT’S WHERE IT
STANDS RIGHT NOW. AND OUT HERE
ON THE PICKET LINE, THEY’RE
HOPING TO GET A DEAL. THEY’RE
HOPING THAT THE FORD DEAL CAN
HELP THEM GET A DEAL BECAUSE
THIS IS A GM PARTS DEPOT. SO,
OF COURSE, YOU DID MENTION THAT
PRESIDENT BIDEN’S DUE TO VISIT
TOMORROW. WE THINK IT’S GOING
TO BE THE WAYNE ASSEMBLY PLANT,
BUT WE’RE STILL WAITING FOR ALL
OF THE CONFIRMATION ON THAT.
BACK TO YOU.
>> ROD, TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
WHAT YOU’RE HEARING FROM
DEALERSHIPS WITH THEIR PARTS
SUPPLY KIND OF TURNED OFF NOW,
WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH FOR THEM?
WELL WE’RE SEEING THE DEALERS
ARE HAVE BEEN BRACING FOR THIS.
>> THEY SAW THIS COMING. THEY
THOUGHT IT COULD BE A PROBLEM
FOR THEM. AND SO THEY HAVE BEEN
PREPARING. AND WE TALKED TO
I’VE BEEN ON THE PHONE ALL DAY
WITH A LOT OF DEALERS AND WE
WERE ABLE TO TALK TO ONE OF
THEM. IN FACT, WE’LL HEAR FROM
HIM COMING UP ON LOCAL 4 NEWS
AT SIX, TALKING ABOUT PRECISELY
WHAT THEY’RE TRYING TO DO TO
KEEP THEIR CUSTOMERS HAPPY,
KEEP THE FUNNEL OPEN.
>> ALL RIGHT, ROD, NOW TO
TROUBLING NEW INFORMATION IN
THE SHOOTING DEATH OF A FLORIST
IN DEARBORN.
>> THREE PEOPLE HAVE NOW BEEN
ARRESTED IN THE SHOOTING. AND
WE’RE LEARNING ABOUT SOMETHING
THAT CAUGHT THEIR EYE BEFORE
THE ATTACK. SHAWN LEY IS LIVE
ON THIS STORY. SHAWN, WHAT DID
THEY SEE?
>> WELL, ONE PERSON SAW HASSAN
SALAMA’S NEW EXPENSIVE WATCH ON
HIS WRIST. JUST ONE PERSON.
WE’RE LEARNING TONIGHT QUICKLY
EVOLVED INTO THIS DEADLY
ROBBERY PLOT WHEN, WELL KNOWN
AND SUPER SUCCESSFUL DEARBORN
FLOORS. HASSAN SALAMEH WAS
GUNNED DOWN OUTSIDE SUSHIKO IN
DEARBORN IN FRONT OF HIS
FIANCEE. WE’VE LEARNED IT WAS
HIS NEW WATCH THAT CAUGHT THE
EYE OF ONE OF THE MEN INVOLVED
. A CAR DROVE UP ITS LICENSE
PLATE, REMOVED. MEN GOT OUT.
WE’RE TOLD THE 29 YEAR OLD WAS
SHOT THREE TIMES AND KILLED.
NEVER GIVEN THE CHANCE TO HAND
OVER THAT WATCH OR ANYTHING
ELSE. HIS WATCH WAS TAKEN. HIS
NECKLACE WAS TAKEN. POLICE ALSO
BELIEVE THE MEN WERE AFTER
SALOME’S LUXURY SUV. IT WAS
TOTALLY RANDOM. AND IN HIS
TERRIFYING THAT A MAN’S WATCH
COULD LEAD TO HIS MURDER. DAVE
ABDULLAH IS SALOME’S COUSIN.
THE FAMILY FLYING TO LEBANON
FOR THE BURIAL AND FOR HER TO
BE BURYING HER SON.
>> THAT’S 29 YEARS OLD, WAS
JUST SO DEVASTATED SHE COULD
NOT EVEN TALK.
>> AND WE ARE LEARNING IT DID
NOT HAVE TO HAPPEN. COURT
DOCUMENTS SHOW ONE OF THE MEN
ARRESTED IN CHARGE, QUENTIN
GATSON OF DETROIT, WAS
SENTENCED TO SEVEN YEARS IN
FEDERAL COURT FOR A CARJACKING
CASE. HE COULD HAVE GOTTEN 20
GODSON SERVED JUST FIVE YEARS.
AND AT THE TIME OF THE KILLING
LAST WEEK, HE WAS ON SUPERVISED
RELEASE. ANOTHER MAN ARRESTED
AND CHARGED, LINDSEY THURMAN,
HAD JUST BEEN RELEASED IN JULY
ON WEAPONS CHARGES. DEARBORN
POLICE ARRESTING A THIRD MAN
OVER THE WEEKEND AS HE WAS
TRYING TO BOARD A FLIGHT TO
ARIZONA AT METRO AIRPORT.
>> THEY SADLY AND UNJUSTIFIABLY
KILLED A RANDOM PERSON OVER A
WATCH OR A NECKLACE. JUST JUST
SAD. SAD. IT A WHOLE NOTHER
LEVEL. LEARNING NEW DETAILS
ABOUT THIS AS THIS EVOLVES
ALMOST A WEEK LATER, KIMBERLY,
WE ARE TOLD DEARBORN POLICE
WILL HAVE MORE TO SAY ABOUT
THIS LATER THIS WEEK.
>> WE’LL BE HERE TO COVER IT
FOR YOU. BACK TO YOU.
>> AND ALSO SHAWN, THREE
ARRESTS, BUT POLICE MAY NOT BE
DONE.
>> THREE ARRESTS SO FAR, ONE
OVER THE WEEKEND IN METRO
AIRPORT. THAT PERSON HAS NOT
BEEN CHARGED YET. POLICE SAY
THE CASE IS WIDE OPEN. THERE’S
NO WAY CLOSED. THAT KIND OF
INDICATES THEY MAY BE LOOKING
FOR MORE PEOPLE TO BRING IN ON
THIS ONE.
>> OKAY. KEEP US POSTED, SHAWN.
WE APPRECIATE IT. DEVELOPING
AND A DECISION AFTER A LOCAL 4
INVESTIGATION.
>> FORMER PRISON EMPLOYEES WILL
NOT FACE INVOLUNTARY
MANSLAUGHTER CHARGES IN THE
DEATH OF A METRO DETROIT MAN
WHO WAS SERVING TIME IN A
PRISON UP NORTH.
>> KAREN DREW HAS FOLLOWED THIS
CASE CLOSELY. SHE’S HERE TO
BREAK DOWN WHAT HAPPENED IN
COURT TODAY KAREN.
>> WELL, KIM AND DEVIN, THIS
WAS A CASE BEYOND CRIME AND
PUNISHMENT. AND I CAN TELL YOU,
PEOPLE ALL AROUND THE COUNTRY
ARE WATCHING TO SEE IF THESE
MICHIGAN PRISON EMPLOYEES WOULD
BE CHARGED. NOW ON ONE SIDE,
JONATHAN LANCASTER’S FAMILY,
WHO SAYS THEIR BROTHER DIED
BECAUSE OF HOW HE WAS TREATED
BEHIND BARS BY PRISON STAFF,
INCLUDING BEING RESTRAINED FOR
THREE DAYS. ON THE OTHER SIDE,
THE FOLKS SAYING THE PRISON
EMPLOYEES DID NOTHING WRONG. 38
YEAR OLD JONATHAN LANCASTER WAS
NEARING THE END OF A NINE YEAR
STATE PRISON SENTENCE FOR ARMED
ROBBERY, BUT INSTEAD OF GOING
HOME TO HIS FAMILY IN 2019,
LANCASTER DIED FROM DEHYDRATION
WHILE IN AN OBSERVATION CELL AT
THE ALGER CORRECTIONAL FACILITY
IN THE U.P. EIGHT PRISON
EMPLOYEES FACE SERIOUS CRIMINAL
CHARGES, BUT DURING A
PRELIMINARY EXAM ON MONDAY, THE
JUDGE DROPPED OUT THE
INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER
CHARGES AGAINST SIX FORMER MDOC
EMPLOYEES. THEN PRISON WARDEN
SCOTT SPRADER AND ASSISTANT
WARDEN BENNY MERCER AND SEVERAL
NURSES. PAUL ZELENAK, NATHAN
MOSER, BARBARA BEDIENT AND JOHN
CRANE. DANIELLE DUNN SAYS HER
BROTHER JONATHAN HAD AN
ALTERCATION WITH ANOTHER INMATE
AND WAS MOVED TO THE ALGER
COUNTY CORRECTIONAL FACILITY.
THERE HE WAS PUT INTO
INDEFINITE SOLITARY
CONFINEMENT. HIS CONDITION
QUICKLY DETERIORATED MENTALLY
BROKEN. JONATHAN STOPPED EATING
AND DRINKING, AND HE LOST A
QUARTER OF HIS BODY WEIGHT. BUT
INSTEAD OF GETTING MEDICAL
HELP, ACCORDING TO COURT
TESTIMONY. JONATHAN WAS
STRAPPED TO A CHAIR. HIS
AUTOPSY REPORT SHOWS THE
BRUISES, THE CUTS TO HIS FACE
AFTER THE JUDGE’S RULING
MONDAY, LANCASTER’S SISTER
RELEASED THIS STATEMENT. THE
STATE OF MICHIGAN MDOC STAFF
AND THE ALGER COURT FAILED.
JONATHAN NOT ONLY AS THEY STOOD
BY AND WATCHED HIM DIE, BUT BY
FAILING TO HOLD THOSE
RESPONSIBLE ACCOUNTABLE AND
SAYING THAT JONATHAN WANTED TO
DIE WAS A WAY TO TRY TO EASE
THEIR CONSCIENCE. THEY KNOW
WHAT THEY DID, AND I PRAY HIS
MEMORY HAUNTS THEM. THIS IS
PASS FOR CORRECTIONS OFFICERS
TO CONTINUE TO ABUSE AND
NEGLECT IT. NOW, THE STATE
ARGUED THE DEFENDANTS IN THIS
CASE CAUSED LANCASTER DEATH BY
FAILING TO PROVIDE NECESSARY
MEDICAL INTERVENTION. THE AG’S
OFFICE TELLS ME IT IS
EVALUATING THE NEXT STEPS.
LANCASTER SISTER. I TALKED WITH
HER THIS AFTERNOON AND SHE DOES
PLAN TO FIGHT FOR AN APPEAL.
>> AND THERE ARE STILL TWO
OTHER PRISON EMPLOYEES FACING
CHARGES TOO, RIGHT? YES.
>> MISCONDUCT CHARGES. THEY’RE
EVALUATING THAT. WE’LL LET YOU
KNOW WHERE THAT GOES. I DID
CALL MDOC, ASKED FOR A COMMENT
. THEY WILL NOT TALK ABOUT THE
CASE RIGHT NOW, BUT WE’LL STAY
ON TOP OF IT. OKAY.
>> APPRECIATE THAT, KAREN. ALL
RIGHT. FORD FIELD, WHO?
>> OH, MY.
>> ROCKIN ON SUNDAY AS THE
LIONS DEFENSE STOLE THE SHOW.
NICE TO SEE THE ROOF IS STILL
ON THE PLACE.
>> IT WAS IN DOUBT.
>> YOU WERE. YOU WERE YELLING
AT.
>> NO, YOU WERE. NO, NOT EVEN
LETTING THE ATLANTA FALCONS
INTO THE END ZONE IN THE 22 SIX
VICTORY.
>> JAMIE’S IN FOR BERNIE
TONIGHT. THIS IS NOT WHAT’S
TOUGH, REALLY SHORT TURNAROUND
ON THE ROAD AND A LOT OF
INJURIES TO STILL TRY AND SORT
OUT HERE AND A DIVISIONAL GAME.
>> THERE’S A LOT GOING ON HERE
DEVIN SHORT WEEK LIONS TRAVEL

TEAM, ESPECIALLY AS THEY DEALT

YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY THERE’S
SOME PENALTIES WE GOT TO CLEAN
UP AND WE KNEW THERE WOULD BE,
YOU KNOW, THIS THIS CREW IS THE
