ProgressOhio Supports Locked Out Cooper Tire Workers


Across the nation, greedy corporate CEOs and the 1% are using new strategies to bust unions. That is because the only line of defense between an America with a strong middle class where everyone has the chance at the American Dream and one that only favors the greedy 1% is the strength of the nation's labor movement.

Members of USW Local 207L gave up $30 million in pay and other benefits to help Cooper Tire in its time of need.

With their help, Cooper made more than $300 million since 2009. The company paid its executives millions of dollars in bonuses, bought a new corporate jet, then refused to bargain in good faith.

They locked USW union employees out and gave replacement workers their jobs.
