[Lastly, and most importantly, your attempted line of logic is flawed. That particular Ford plant offers an incentive if you drive a Ford. It doesn't claim that you have to drive a Ford in order to work for Ford, just that you'll get better parking if you choose to do so. If Boeing was giving out free airline tickets to its' employees, then it would have every right to dictate that those free tickets were only valid on flights using Boeing equipment.



My real aim was to highlight the fact that large corporations are attempting (and have been successful for some time now) to control how an employee spends his/her time and money while outside of the work environment. I see this as only the beginning, and that Ford will likely take that to the next level. To me it is just a silly way to try and force the employees to buy a Ford product.



Wrong. The employees are not forced to do anything outside of work. They can still work at Ford & drive a different car.



exactly, and like i said before, they're lucky to have free parking to begin with. that in itself is a priviledge.
