Профсоюз и Goodyear возвращаются за стол переговоров, но все еще далеки от результата
Хотя обе стороны продолжают выбирать наилучший вариант нового трехгодичного мастер-контракта Объединенного профсоюза сталелитейщиков совместно с Michelin Северная Америка, Goodyear и профсоюз, согласно сообщениям, остаются достаточно далеко от того, чтобы прийти к общему решению по контракту.
Более подробно о предыдущих событиях - 14 Мая 2006.
Входящие в профсоюз рабочие Goodyear продолжают работу, выполняя ежедневные обязанности согласно истекшему контракту. Сделка профсоюза с Michelin была заключена в качестве "пробного контракта" на период продолжающихся переговоров с Goodyear и на данный момент остановленных переговоров с Bridgestone/Firestone.
Переговорщики со стороны Goodyear и профсоюза вернулись за стол переговоров 11 августа, после того, как обе стороны взяли несколько дней на рассмотрение наиболее приемлемых пунктов сделки между Michelin и сталелитейщиками.
Однако при этом не ожидается, что Goodyear согласится на разработанный пробный контракт и, очевидно, профсоюз также не собирается этого делать. В своем последнем Обращении солидарности к рабочим Goodyear, представители профсоюза заявляет: "Наш контракт с Goodyear не станет копией контракта с BFGoodrich и обе стороны понимают, что это прецедент".
В то же время, профсоюз не исключает возможности проведения забастовки. "Мы все еще очень далеки от соглашения. Несмотря на то, что компания отказывается от своей первоначальной повестки, мы не можем прийти к соглашению", говорится в обращении профсоюза к рабочим. Если после пересмотра пробного соглашения Goodyear вернется с теми же или подобными предложениями, мы не сможем договориться. Но мы проведем еще немало времени за столом переговоров и, если это будет возможно, придем к соглашению".
"Профсоюз будет продолжать готовиться к забастовке, если будет такая необходимость, чтобы достичь справедливого приемлемого контракта. В случае, если нас заставят бастовать, мы продержимся на день дольше, чем компания, и получим преимущество».
Со своей стороны, Goodyear в последнее время не публиковал каких-либо новых сообщений, касающихся переговоров по контракту, своей позиции или отношения к сделке между Michelin и профсоюзом.

Whether it has been winning over 350 Grand Prix races or being the first tyre used on the moon, Goodyear is famous world over for being at the forefront of tyre technology. With just 13 workers, Goodyear production began on November 21, 1898, with a product line of bicycle and carriage tyres, horseshoe pads and poker chips. Since the first bicycle tyre in 1898, Goodyear pedalled its way toward becoming the world's largest tyre company, a title it earned in 1916 when it adopted the slogan "More people ride on Goodyear tyres than on any other kind," becoming the world's largest rubber company in 1926.
Today, Goodyear measures sales in excess of $20 billion, the company has more than 85,000 associates worldwide and manufactures in more than 85 facilities in 28 countries. And to think it all began in a converted strawboard factory on the banks of the Little Cuyahoga River in Akron, Ohio . The Goodyear range incorporates technology and advances in tyre design gathered from Goodyear's various research and development teams located around the world. You can feel confident that there is a Goodyear tyre of the highest quality to suit your individual needs. And with a distribution network the envy of the Australian tyre industry, Goodyear should be the tyre you choose first every time.

Goodyear Loses Women's Vote By Screwing Female Worker
Dear Goodyear - do you think any woman in America will ever voluntarily buy a tire of yours again?
Think again!
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. and against Lilly Ledbetter, who retired from an Alabama Goodyear plant and then sued, claiming she earned $6,000 a year less than her lowest-paid male co-worker.
The Civil Rights Act requires employees to sue within six months of discrimination, but Ledbetter said it was too late by the time she had proof of the discrepancy.
In a five-to-four decision, the Supreme Court said she waited too long. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the only woman on the court, disagreed with the decision, who urged Congress to amend the law to correct the court's "parsimonious reading'' of the law.
Ginsburg said Ledbetter faced an impossible choice: sue sooner and likely lose a half-baked case, or wait until the evidence was strong enough to win and then be told it was too late to sue. Siding with Ginsburg were justices Stephen Breyer, David Souter and John Paul Stevens. Workers salute you.
New York Sen. Hillary Clinton said she will author legislation to make clear that workers like Ledbetter could use old evidence of unequal pay to demonstrate they are being discriminated against now.
