Henry Ford Had A Hitman On Payroll! [Harry Bennett]

Henry Ford's SECRET Hatchet Man Harry Bennett | A Classic Car Documentary
In 1916, Henry Ford was in New York City for a meeting, when he was introduced to a man who had been involved in a street fight. It was a naval officer who had easily beat some local street thugs. Standing before the great Henry Ford, the naval officer worried about how poorly his actions reflected on his military ranking, concerned he’d be dishonorably discharged, however Henry Ford did just the opposite. He offered this naval officer a job. His name was Harry Bennett, and for the next 30 years, he was Henry Ford’s muscleman, living in the shadows as Ford’s ‘fixer’. When there was a scuffle on the assembly line, Bennett made the problem go away. When there was a potential union labor organization with united auto workers, Bennett ‘solved’ the problem.
Bennett reported personally and only to Henry Ford every day, meeting regularly in the Ford family home. Henry Ford trusted Bennett so much, that when the time came to step down at Ford Motors, Henry Ford wanted Bennett to be his replacement, causing Henry Ford’s wife Clara to threaten him with divorce. This is the true, and unbelievable story, of Harry Bennett, Henry Ford’s right-hand man.

Documentaries like this makes you think, how Many dark things happened in history, but we Will never know? It's quite shocking

[@nissanbrown6144]

I am not suprise by none of this when it comes to history about america.

[@JackVac_joeblower]

You really deserve much more subs than that! Even as a GM guy, I gotta admit Ford as been intelligent with 1 part, not getting Supercar blondie to present their cars.

Henry Ford is heralded for settling with the union and agreeing to the eight hour work day. He was predictably opposed to the idea and still using his strong arm tactics but his wife Clara had been an ardent and active supporter of the women’s suffrage movement and fought for the women’s vote or nineteenth amendment. She was the voice of reason who told him to look at his watch and consider that there are twenty four hours in a day and with eight hour days during times of demand it would enable his own factories to remain open twenty four hours a day by employing either two shifts running sixteen hour days or twenty four hours using three shifts in times of highest demand.

[@nissanbrown6144]

Whats in the dark shell come to light. People talk.

[@jacquelinelewis5741]

Harry Bennett was my sister in law s father. Her childhood was running around the castle.

[@seandobson499]

Personally, I would not be making it known that I was related to such a nasty, brutal piece of work as Harry Bennett and the police in America must have been even more corrupt than Bennett in order for him not to have gone to the electric chair or spent the rest of his life in prison.

[@kirdot2011]

If this doesnt make you not want to buy Fords, nothing will.

[@whatabouttheearth]

Yeah, because they're made by the UAW!

[@user-jx7dg7ci9g]

I agree. I am NOT! 2012 loaded black in black Ford Fusion. A beautiful automobile However,this is when I knew something was not right about this car company. . .ford ! I priced that 2014 fusion. Again black in black but I would have to pay more ( Titanium : Sony & leather ' appointments' in lieux of full leather seats) for less ! Factory radio was good,did not really need Sony. Still,it irked me that material used were of a lesser quality than my 2013 loaded Fusion. Why,Ford. . Why !?!?!?!!?

[@bowtie3]

I never bought a Ford.

[@juanitawebb6102]

Ford benefitted Germany , I like Ford

[@user-jx7dg7ci9g]
