or maybe they don’t understand

They totally do, and the execs are panicking, but historically companies could just have people arrested for striking, or shoot them, so right now they don’t know what to do except try other scare tactics. They’ll try anything before cutting into their “record profits”

Then this is as good a time as any to show them that bullying does not work.

The strike didn't fire 600 people. Ford fired 600 people and tried to blame it on the strike.
