Delphi workers at the Dayton, Ohio brake plant are resisting company efforts to stockpile parts in anticipation of a strike. They’re using “work to rule” shop floor tactics that slow production. UAW Local 696 member Dan Lamb was just suspended for a week. He says Delphi fired the local union shop chairman and had the union president arrested on the shop floor for refusing to leave the plant during a dispute over safety. Lamb says Delphi is targeting him and others who are resisting Delphi’s attack on working families.

[Dan Lamb 1]: “What they’ve systematically tried to do is disband our union. They’ve taken away our leadership by not allowing our president to come back in, firin’ our shop chairman, firin’ I think two or three of our bargaining committee, puttin’ another couple on notice. And then systematically goin’ through the floor and finding those people that are on the shop floor in leadership, targeting them. Right now we’re just fighting for our jobs. We’re fighting for our families. We know if we lose our jobs, take big cuts in our jobs, we’re going to lose everything that we have.”
