Join the Fight to Save America’s Tire Industry and USW Jobs!
SIGN THE PETITION NOW (usw.to/rubber)
For generations, tire plants have provided good, family-supporting jobs, and helped build strong
communities across our country. But those jobs, our members’ jobs, are disappearing at an alarming
rate.
Domestic tire production has declined roughly 40 percent since 2000, while imports have taken an
increasing share of the U.S. market. In just the past two years, announced plant closures
(usw.to/5qu) and job cuts have cost, or will cost, more than 6,000 USW members their jobs. Behind
those numbers are our union brothers and sisters (usw.to/5qv), their families and communities that
have depended on these plants for generations.
We cannot stand by while more good union jobs disappear.
The USW has a long history of fighting unfair trade and working to level
the playing field for our members. We’ve successfully fought surging
tire imports before, and now we’re taking the next step.
Our union has called on U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Jamieson
Greer to launch a Section 201 investigation into tire imports
(usw.to/5qw). This investigation could lead to temporary trade relief,
including measures to limit imports, giving the domestic industry an
opportunity to stabilize, rebuild and grow.
Our strength is in our numbers and we need YOUR VOICE
to make USW’s demand for action impossible to ignore!
