John Deere employees are STILL ON STRIKE over vax mandate
From Jim Stone:
It is starting to bite. The MSM is desperately trying to paint this as “workers demanding more after John Deere showed strong earnings” but they were given a sweetheart deal, damn near a bribe to keep working despite the vax mandate, and they all struck over it anyway.
All of this is now hitting farmers hard, as many of the problems with stalled and inoperable equipment are software based, with John Deere denying farmers the right to repair their own equipment. This has been an ongoing topic on the web for about 10 years – John Deere equipment that the farmers cannot or are not allowed to fix without direct replacement parts. So the aftermarket cannot pick up the slack with this because if the computer sees a part that is not authentic, it will not allow the machine to function. or, if the computer detects a malfunction, it won’t let the tractor work again until the dealer hooks up a scan tool and hits “go”.
SO HOW DOES “RIGHT TO REPAIR” FIT IN WHEN THE COMPANY THAT CONNED EVERYONE WITH THIS B.S. IS NOW SHUT DOWN BY A STRIKE, WITH DEAD EQUIPMENT IN THE FIELDS THAT FARMERS CANNOT FIX WITH BAILING WIRE? Even if there is a fix, the computer won’t let the tractor go because the fix was not “authorized” via a payout for an over priced part!
WAY TO GO JOHN DEERE – screw the public with “you had better not fix this” built into the designs, and then hang even that by trying to force a vax on employees when in reality, the mandate is all talk and smoke, THERE IS NO MANDATE. Yeah, trigger that strike and shut even your shitty “no right to repair” down. Way to go.
