Should an occupation of the Ford Twin Cities Assembly Plant be considered to save it?

  The Flint Sit-Down Strike won union recognition for autoworkers--- can similar tactics be used to save the U.S. auto industry, plants and jobs?

  Occupying this plant to save it would make more sense than occupying a park or public square--- and no doubt generate more public support and participation. Something for Occupy Minnesota and Occupy Wall Street to consider--- are the "occupiers" up for a real rumble with one of Wall Street's greediest icons?
