Steelworkers fight Titan for contract
United Steelworkers of America strikers at Titan Tire and
their supporters picketed Titan owner Maurice Taylor's mansion,
above, and the company's nonunion plant in Quincy, Illinois,
January 14. Strikers are from USWA Local 164 in Des Moines,
Iowa, who walked out May 1, 1998, and Local 303 from Natchez,
Mississippi, who struck September 15. Steelworkers took action
over forced overtime, two-tier wages, pensions, and health
care. Twenty members of USWA Local 787 from
Bridgestone/Firestone in Bloomington, Illinois, joined the
rally.
