DESCRIPTION:On May 9, 2008 there will be an international day of action to demand the 
 rehiring for 5 fired UAW3520 Freightliner union leaders. These union 
 leaders were fired in retaliation for going on a legal strike over health 
 and safety issues and to defend their union. They are calling for 
 international action against Freightliner Truck company which is owned by 
 Daimler in German. Daimler also owns Daimler Benz and there will be two 
 support pickets in the bay area at these dealerships to let people know 
 about their struggle.\n\n\nhttp://www.justice4five.com/images88/F-5.pdf 
 \nThe Freightliner Five are calling for a world day of action to demand 
 that Freightliner and it's owner Daimler rehire these five fired workers. 
 Over one year ago, the five Freightliner UAW 3520 shop floor leaders were 
 terminate in retaliation for their strike for decent health and safety 
 conditions and a decent contract. Although Daimler has an agreement not to 
 discriminate and retaliate against workers who are using their democratic 
 rights, the company has fought all efforts to bring the workers back to 
 work. This struggle is not only about the Freightliner Five, but whether 
 workers throughout the South will feel that they have the right to a 
 democratic union without being fired and discriminated against for union 
 activity. \nWe are calling for labor and community supporters and activists 
 to join with the Freightliner Five at their rally on Friday May 9, 2009 at 
 1:00 PM in Cleveland, North Carolina. For those who cannot make the rallies 
 we ask that you have actions at Freightliner repair facilities and also at 
 Daimler operations including Daimler Benz dealerships the US and Daimler 
 operations throughout the world. \nIf you are not able to make a rally or 
 action you can also call and fax the companies on May 9, 2008 in every 
 country of the world to let them know that union busting is not acceptable 
 and Daimler must rehire the Freightliner Five. \nPlease send copies of your 
 correspondence to our web site at \nhttp://www.justice4five.com \n\nBay
