) - said last week they planned to restart production at North American plants on May 18. The target date was set after tacit approval from the powerful United Auto Workers union, which previously opposed a May restart as “too soon and too risky.”

What a joke. My spouse works in one and he is the ONLY person 'choosing to wear a mask' because they're making it OPTIONAL to all employees. It's God damn disgraceful. Let me know if you'd like to talk to my husband. He'd love to discuss this matter

not great for the workers but at least the can work

Who's buying?

看起來比BYD高級不少
