Kansas City Teamsters Leaflet Car Consumers At GM And Chrysler
October 20, 2009
Members Warn that Cars May Arrive Damaged When Handled by Inexperienced, Non-Union Carhaulers
Kansas City, Missouri television station KSHB-TV covered Teamster members who were out in force this past weekend as part of a national campaign to fight against the destruction of the carhaul industry by bailed-out auto giants General Motors and Chrysler. The automakers received bailouts from taxpayers earlier this year, but are now demanding dramatic and unsustainable cost cuts from Teamster-represented carhaul companies, threatening hundreds of good-paying, skilled, middle-class jobs. Members from the Kansas City area handed out leaflets to consumers at local dealerships to help spread the word. Download the clip here.
