Labor to take protest of Goodyear to the NASCAR awards in NYC

with one comment

Join the Protest Against Goodyear and Their Scab Tires
Show NASCAR that New York hates strike breakers Sisters & Brothers: Please join us in a protest at the NASCAR Awards dinner. Goodyear is the sole supplier of tires for NASCAR. Goodyear forced 15,000 USW members in 16 North American plants out on strike on October 5.
Despite innovations delivered by the union and concessions taken by its members and retirees in the 2003 contract that contributed to a billion dollar turnaround in the companys bottom line since 2002, Goodyear continued to insist on additional plant closings and more concessions in this round of bargaining.

Together, we can make sure the tire buying public understands that Goodyear is abandoning Americas workers, retirees, and communities.

WHEN: Friday, December 1st, 5:00 until 7:00 PM

WHERE: Outside of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, 301 Park Ave
[betw. 49 St. & 50 St....TRAINS: #6 to 51 St.; E, V to Lexington (at 53
St.); S, 7 to Grand Central-42 St.; B, D, F, V to 47-50/Rock Ctr.;
