Support from overseas is now coming in for locked out USW Local 207L Cooper Tire and Rubber workers. The USW News reports a delegation of those workers will be traveling to Serbia where Cooper recently bought a plant in Krusevac. The group, along with an international union representative, will be meeting this week with leaders of Nezavisnost, the union that represents workers at Cooper's facility in Serbia. The meetings will revolve around the two unions common issues with Cooper and how workers in both countries can best support each other.
After Cooper announced plans to purchase the tire plant in Serbia, Nezavisnost President Milorad Panovic called upon the company to end the lockout in Findlay and pledged support for Cooper's locked-out workforce
When companies go overseas to union bust, the unions need to follow.
