From the USW Rapid Response

While Goodyear is making large profits, it has forced our members out on a strike which is now entering its third month. The strike centers on two issues that are of vital importance to us all: Outsourcing and Healthcare.

USW’s Leo Gerard to appear on Lou Dobbs Tonight

Goodyear has an exclusive contract to produce racing tires for NASCAR, which raises the question why an American institution like NASCAR is totally dependent on a company that is moving jobs out of North America and into countries like China, Colombia, Slovenia and Poland. While shutting plants here, Goodyear since 2004 has invested $150 million in overseas plants where workers are paid less than 50 cents an hour.

Your efforts are critical in helping to maximize the exposure of the
USW's Goodyear advertisement featured on Youtube and helping to spread
the word about our strike far and wide.
