UE exposed Kobe Steel's
unionbusting on June 11, with leafleting outside the Japanese
corporation’s U.S. headquarters in New York City. Meanwhile, at Kobe
plants in Ohio and Indiana on ‘Kobe Workers’ Solidarity Day,’
members of UE and three other unions — PACE, UFCW and USWA — wore
solidarity stickers to let their bosses know they stand united for
justice. Glastic Plastics in Jefferson, Ohio is one of two Kobe
facilities in the U.S. where workers who voted for a union still do not
have a first contract. Workers there are represented by UE Local 758.
