The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- A former Ford electrician in Kentucky, Kurt Kromm, was fired after being accused of stealing a $1.95 pack of cookies from a self-checkout kiosk at the company's Louisville truck plant.
- Bank records later showed his payment had gone through, and Ford reinstated him with about $33,000 in back pay, but he declined the offer.
- He has now hired an attorney to sue Ford and food services company Aramark, with a demand letter planned, arguing the theft accusations were false and could have been disproven from the start.
- Ford and Aramark have declined to comment on the potential litigation.
What to watch next
- The demand letter to Ford and Aramark and whether the companies respond or settle
- Whether Ford's review of Aramark kiosk payment issues leads to any changes
- Whether Kromm files a formal lawsuit if the demand letter is rejected
