After kicking off a petition campaign at the Jan 11 rally in front of the North American International Auto Show, auto workers from across the Midwest talked to their coworkers about the strings attached to the auto industry bailout money. Hundreds of petition signatures poured in.
On February 5, auto workers handed off the first round of more than 400 signatures to staff of Michigan Representative John Conyers in Detroit. A second set was mailed to President Obama.
Since then, hundreds more petitions have been collected by auto workers desperate to make a point - we need policies that will shape the way our industries work for the years to come, not more cuts to worker wages, benefits, and working conditions.
