Ford previously fired a long-serving electrician at its Louisville plant after allegations that he stole a $1.95 cookie. The worker, who is in his 60s and has been employed at Ford for more than a decade, was accused of taking the item and was dismissed over the incident, according to reports from NDTV and Jalopnik. After his termination, the company’s review of financial and payment information reportedly indicates the allegations were incorrect. Both outlets state that the worker’s bank records show he paid for the cookie, contradicting the accusation that he stole it. Following the revised information, Ford reverses its decision and seeks to reinstate him, the reports say. However, the employee does not plan to return to the company. The accounts describe a case in which a small value item triggers job loss, then later leads to a reversal after payment records are considered.
