This is why support those that support us. More importantly, we need to expose those that want to end our standard of living! Any politician that wants to abolish unions should never get our endorsement!!! Simple concept.

Last week the Toledo Area CAP Council supported the members of UAW Local 1327 in Findlay Ohio. US Representative Marcy Kaptur was on hand to stand in solidarity as these workers fight for a fair contract. CAP worked with the West Ohio Food Bank to supply food baskets for the members. CAP also grilled hotdogs because what’s a strike line without hotdogs! This is your CAP dollars at work!

In Solidarity

Today, members from UAW Region 2B joined brothers and sisters from across the state in Columbus for the "Healthcare for All Ohioans" conference. Our message was clear: Everybody In, Nobody Out!

Healthcare is one of the biggest reasons our members are forced onto the picket line. It creates a "have and have-not" divide between those with retiree healthcare and those without. Even for those with coverage, rising premiums are eating up the raises we work so hard to negotiate. The U.S. pays the most in the world for healthcare, yet we keep seeing diminished returns.

We support those who support us. We are standing with:

State Senator Paula Hicks-Hudson, sponsor of SB 78
State Representative Michele Grim, sponsor of HB 289

These bills would create a statewide single-payer system, cutting out the insurance middlemen who profit by denying our care. This is a fight for a healthier Ohio at a lower cost.

The stakes couldn't be higher. Recently, the federal "One Big Beautiful Bill" slashed healthcare funding by $1 trillion, an unprecedented move that puts our most vulnerable at risk.

Unions have always led the way on social and economic justice—and this fight is both. We must call out any politician who takes money from the insurance machine; they can't take their checks and claim to be on our side.

On my way back, I stopped to see our brothers and sisters at the Local 1327 strike line. Their fight is—you guessed it—over healthcare. Their spirits are high, and their resolve is unbreakable.

At our last Toledo Area CAP Council meeting, the membership allocated up to $5000 to help these members! The Region matched our $5000. This is your CAP dollars at work! We will keep you informed with their progress.

In Solidarity,
Tony

On Wednesday I attended a Toledo City Council meeting about the future of Toledo sanitation workers. My friend and UAW ally Mark Schmiehausen, President of the Teamsters Local 20, informed me that his union members were at risk of losing their jobs if the change takes place. I spoke against the change due to the track record of the new company’s anti union behavior in the past. The head of the police officers union along with police command spoke out against the change as well because of the extra $10 million price tag with the new provider. In a time of a budget crunch, why would we make this costly change. There will be another meeting on this decision soon. Several of our city council members spoke In support of these union members, some seemed to be on the fence. Our members need to watch this to see if city council supports organized labor or not.
