On July 23, United Steelworkers (USW) Local 1155L held a solidarity rally in support of ongoing negotiations with Bridgestone/Firestone. Over 250 union members braved a fog laden morning to voice their displeasure with the company's stance of massive wage concessions, 400% increase in insurance premiums, frozen pensions etc.
