The Ford Service Division was a security force formed by Henry Ford and led by a man named Harry Bennett. Bennett was an uneducated thug and a bully as were most of the people he recruited. There were incidents in the 1930's where protesters were brutally assaulted and some were shot and killed by Bennett's hired thugs with the help of the local police who looked the other way. Unions were established to protect workers from the abusive working conditions of greedy robber barons. I haven't owned a Ford vehicle since I learned that Henry Ford was a bloody fascist, nor will I ever again own one.
