No worker deserves to be fired for speaking up. Not Starbucks baristas organizing for a fair contract, immigrant workers fighting wage theft, Amazon warehouse workers demanding safety, or federal workers protecting our civil rights. Stand with the #FairHousingThree: http://www.jwj.org/fh3

Volkswagen can come to the table with autoworkers in Chattanooga and give them the dignity, wages, and safety they deserve. We’ve seen them do it with international auto workers. It shouldn’t be different for workers in Chattanooga, TN. Avoid a strike and meet the reasonable demands, VW!!
