Teamsters Gearing Up To Protest In D.C. Calling Toyota "Danger to America"
And Toyota thought it had it bad today. Come tomorrow morning it's going to get even worse as the International Brotherhood of Teamsters is planning to oppose at the Asian Embassy in Washington D.C. over Toyota's plans to close New United Motor Manufacturing Inc. (NUMMI).
"After receiving millions in the taxpayer-funded Cash for Clunkers bailout, Toyota plans to close its New United Motors Manufacturing Inc. (NUMMI) assembly plant in Fremont, CA, which will mean a loss of 5,400 direct jobs and up to 50,000 jobs at suppliers and other supporting businesses. This would be the biggest works layoff in California since the beginning of the recession. Toyota is also endangering 5,000 middle class jobs in the carhaul industry."
Hmmm…think the Teamsters are attempting to pile on a bit here?
