“The UAW is devastated to learn that a member was killed on the job at Ford’s Sharonville Transmission Plant on March 16, 2026,” said UAW Vice President Laura Dickerson, UAW Ford Department Director. “No one should ever go to work and never come home. It is our sacred duty as a union to protect the life, health, and safety of our members on the job. Members deserve a workplace free of threat to life and body. Our prayers are with the family, co-workers and loved ones of our fallen brother.”
