Vol.63/No.5 February 8, 1999
400 rally in Mississippi for Steelworkers on strike at Titan Tire
Some 400 people rallied January 23, in Natchez,
Mississippi, in support of members of United Steelworkers of
America Local 303L on strike against Titan Tire. The main
issues in the strike are defending medical benefits for
workers and retirees and limiting the massive overtime Titan
boss Maurice Taylor is demanding. Among those who turned out
for the rally were locked out workers from Crown Central
Petroleum in Pasadena, Texas; two carloads of catfish workers
from Belzoni, Mississippi, who are demanding better working
conditions; and Steelworkers on strike against Kaiser
Aluminum from Gramercy, Louisiana.
