Michigan Carhaulers Tell Consumers About GM & Chrysler’s Raw Deal

Michigan television station KJRT-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.

Members from the Flint, Saginaw and Bay City area handed out leaflets to consumers at local dealerships to help spread the word.
