National Solidarity Actions with Steelworkers Striking at Goodyear
In the eighth week of their strike, the Steelworkers are organizing
actions at stores that sell Goodyear tires across the country. Come
join members of the USW in getting the word out about their struggle and
informing the public of the dangers of driving on tires produced during
a labor dispute.
The members of the United Steelworkers (USW) at the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company are fighting for their working lives. On October 5 of
this year, in response to unacceptable contract offers from the company,
15,000 members of the USW were forced to strike for job security and the
guarantee of healthcare in their retirement. With their jobs on the
line, members of the United Steelworkers are prepared to fight ONE DAY
LONGER for justice for working families.
Now, in the eighth week of their strike, the Steelworkers are organizing
actions at stores that sell Goodyear tires across the country. Come
join members of the USW in getting the word out about their struggle and
informing the public of the dangers of driving on tires produced during
a labor dispute.
