Goodyear Strikers Roll Over NASCAR Banquet

With

Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney, NYC Central Labor

Council Executive Dir. Ed Ott, National Labor Committee

Executive Dir. Charlie Kernaghan, Rev. Dave Dyson

and Goodyear Strikers Members of United Steelworkers



Hundreds of supporters joined 20 Goodyear strikers to protest

Goodyear receiving an award at the NASCAR Banquet held at

the swank Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Goodyear, the sole supplier of

tires for NASCAR, forced 15,000 USW members in 16 North

American plants out on strike on October 5. Due to past sacrifices

by the workers, Goodyear profits reached a half a billion dollars in

2005. Proving that greed has no bounds, now Goodyear is insisting

on additional plant closings sending more jobs overseas. It is also

demanding concessions in this round of bargaining including health

care givebacks by retirees & dramatically lower starting salaries for

new hires.
