Fired "Cleveland Five" Worker Arrested For Attending His Union Local Meeting

http://www.laborradio.org/node/7943

By Doug Cunningham

A worker fired by Freightliner but fighting to get his job back was arrested while attending a meeting of his union local over the President’s Day weekend. Allen Bradley, one of the “Cleveland Five” UAW members fired after a one-day strike at Freightliner's North Carolina plant, was cited for trespassing. Bradley and the other four workers were on the bargaining committee of UAW Local 3520 when the local decided to reject a contract and stage a one-day strike. The one-day strike was not authorized by the UAW International, the workers were fired by Freightliner and the UAW International won’t represent the workers in their fight to get their jobs back.
