What You Can Do To Help Striking Goodyear Workers & Families
15,000 workers at Goodyear Tire plants in the United States and Canada are on strike to preserve domestic industrial jobs and maintain company-paid retiree health care benefits. They're in a tough fight, and need all the solidarity from friends and allies they can get. You can help.

Adopt-A-Local – The USW is establishing an Adopt-A-Local program where other local unions can help a particular striking Goodyear local, organize support rallies, raise funds, provide Christmas presents for the children, etc.
-
Adopt-A-Store – Many friends and allies of the Goodyear strikers are helping to add economic pressure in support of the workers and publicize this struggle by picking out a local tire store selling Goodyears and handbilling customers about the on-going dispute.

If your local union or organization wants to help out on the Adopt-A-Local or Adopt-A-Store campaigns, please contact the United Steelworkers at 877-511-8792 or solidarity@usw.org with the name of your group, a contact person, and phone number and/or email address.
