• Delivery driver banned from Bradford White after 'aggressive behavior' with protesters (wwmt.com) — A delivery driver has been banned from all Bradford White facilities after allegedly acting aggressively toward picketing workers outside the company's Middleville plant, where UAW Local 1002 has been on strike since Sept. 16. Company officials stress safety and a zero-tolerance policy for aggressive behavior while reiterating they want to reach a fair contract and bring more than 1,200 workers back to their West Michigan jobs.
