John Edwards on Strike for USW
Workers at Goodyear Tire & Rubber plants across the country have been on strike for almost a month now, protesting the company's plan to shut down American plants. The 12,000 American and 3,000 Canadian union workers have joined together in an effort to protect each other's jobs.Three years ago, Goodyear was in financial trouble. Everyone joined together in an effort to save the company. Workers took reduced wages, pensions, and health care coverages, and Goodyear closed a plant. Efficiency and productivity increased at every facility to help the company survive.
Tuesday, Goodyear announced plans to close a plant in Tyler, Texas, which will eliminate 1,100 jobs. The city of Tyler offered Goodyear a $12 million incentive package to keep the plant open. Goodyear declined. The Pittsburgh-based United Steel Workers union criticized Goodyear's decision, saying "the company foolishly 'believes it can shrink a company to prosperity'."
Currently, there are no talks planned between the USW and Goodyear. The decision to close the plant may make negotiations more tense. Goodyear is 
planning to hire temporary workers to replace the 15,000 union employees.
