UAW workers protest shutdown
Published May 29, 2009 10:42 PM
Hundreds of UAW members from Local 1700 rallied on May 21 demanding their
Sterling Heights Assembly plant stay open and operating in Michigan. There are
about 1,100 UAW workers at the plant. The slated closing of this Chrysler
factory would also devastate many communities. Local 1700 supporters at the
rally included members of Jobs With Justice, the American Federation of
Teachers, the Moratorium NOW! Coalition to Stop Foreclosures and Evictions, the
People’s Summit & Tent City, Labor Notes and many UAW members at
other locals throughout metro Detroit and beyond.
