Tell Cooper Tire to End the Lockout |
|
January 22, 2012 |
|
On November 28, 2011, Cooper Tire & Rubber locked out 1,050 workers in Findlay, Ohio. When Cooper Tire was losing money in 2008, these employees gave up $31 million in concessions to help their employer stay alive. Cooper has since rebounded, raking in $300 million in profits – and handing corporate executives millions in raises and bonuses. Workers simply want a fair deal that recognizes their sacrifice. Instead they have been left out in the cold.
Fight back against corporate greed and help Cooper Tire workers get back to work.

|
September 22, 2011 |
|
In September, an investigative report revealed that Amazon.com's Breinigsville, PA, warehouse has been operating like a sweatshop – with employees working on their hands and knees at a frantic pace, enduring the pain because they're afraid of losing their jobs. We need to let Amazon know that we won't stand for shameful working conditions – not now, not ever. Amazon's workers deserve better. And as customers, we can demand better. You can make a difference for these workers.
Take the pledge to not shop at Amazon this holiday season.

Tell Hyatt to drop their opposition to this common-sense bill!

States Need Economic Solutions, Not Scapegoats |
|
February 11, 2011 |
|
With the middle class already struggling, anti-worker governors and state legislators from coast to coast are feverishly working on bills that would decimate unions. They're targeting America's workers – because they think there won't be political repercussions.
It's up to us to make sure state legislators hear our message loud and clear – crippling unions makes things worse for the middle class, not better. And we won't stand idly by while anti-worker legislators destroy all the progress we've made.
Take a stand now for America's workers and add your name to the petition.
