On November 28, 2011, Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. locked out 1,050 members of USW Local 207L in Findlay, Ohio.

These men and women offered to stay on the job as contract negotiations moved forward, but the company refused and kicked its longtime workers to the curb.

The company wants to cry broke, but workers say it is greed -- not need -- that is driving the company's campaign against workers.

  • Shameful how Cooper Tire has broken faith with the workers whose sacrifices helped Cooper tire weather difficult times. Paying bonuses to some workers while failing to restore pay to others is totally unacceptable. Locking these workers out is a sorry state of business in America today. Manufacturers unable to provide middle class wages to its workers are not worth supporting.
