There is an attack on workers going on across America. Corporate bosses are turning to the lockout as their first measure of negotiating with workers who strike for legitimate grievances and economic justice. There were 17 lockouts across the country in 2011 with the most attention grabbing ones being the Cooper Tire lockout in Findlay, Ohio, the American Crystal Sugar Company, and of course the NFL and NBA players associations. Unfortunately, smaller lockouts that effect fewer workers at the bottom of Organized Labor’s food chain receive far less attention. At a plant in Sandusky, Ohio on the shores of Lake Erie workers at an industrial chain making facility owned by a japanese company called US Tsubaki have been locked out for over a year for having the simple desires to protect their benefits and wages from a company that is making record profits.
When all the attention was focused on Ohio, as organized labor made it the line in the sand in its successful attempt to fight back and save collective bargaining rights for public workers, the slogans of We are One! and An Injury to One is An Injury to All!boomed loud and clear across the land. Organized Labor was united in fighting back to repeal the rightwing governor’s attack on public workers (SB5) and they mobilized all their troops to do it with the Democrats carrying their banner. This showed the potential of organized labor to fight back, but on the picket lines across the country where unions such as the International Association Of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) local 2159 that represents the striking workers at US Tsubaki, there is a dismal failure from the leadership of organized labor and the the majority of the Democratic party’s leadership that pretends to carry the banner of working men and women.
