While Detroit's 'Big Three' have all suspended North American production until at least Monday, some workers have expressed frustration that the automakers took so long to close their plants. 'Most of us on the line were terrified,' one worker said.
NBC News spoke to workers from all three manufacturers, and the common thread was a fear about becoming infected at work. They also all expressed frustration, if not outright anger, that the automakers took so long to close their plants.
Ford sent contractors and non-manufacturing workers home two days before it announced that it would be closing plants. Despite the shutdowns, all three companies will still require some hourly employees, such as electricians and plumbers, to remain on site for maintenance and repair work. Sanitation crews will also remain on the job to fully disinfect potential contamination sites.
