Key Points:

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --Workers at Kumho Tire in Macon, Ga., won their battle to join the United Steelworkers (USW) despite the corporation's relentless and illegal campaign to thwart their organizing rights.
Workers sought USW representation to fight low wages, hazardous working conditions and abusive treatment at Kumho, which ruthlessly harassed and bullied union supporters in an attempt to derail the organizing campaign.
In 2017, Kumho workers narrowly lost an initial election on the heels of Kumho's vicious union-busting campaign, which included threats against USW supporters.
"In forming a union and holding Kumho to account," Flippo added, "these workers will help set stronger pay and workplace standards for the whole industry."
