DESCRIPTION:July 4 Protest Of IAM District 190/Local 1584 Mechanics To Stop Union 
 Busting At Nissan Dealership In Concord  "No Technicians without 
 Representation"\n\nGreetings Sisters and Brothers in the Labor Movement,\n 
 \nHere is a reminder about the action IAM Local 1173 is having this Fourth 
 of July Weekend in Concord. Details about this weekend's action can found 
 below, along with an attached Flyer and a message from Lead Negotiator, 
 Area Director of IAM Local 1173 and President of the Contra Costa CLC, 
 Steve Older.\n\nIt would be greatly appreciated if you could please forward 
 this information to your Delegates, members and affiliated parties. \n\nA 
 message from Steve Older, Lead Negotiator in this Contract Fight...\n\nJust 
 as our nation is being sold off to multinational corporations with the 
 secret TPP trade deal, the same thing is happening in your own back yard. 
 The international Autocom Corporation is buying up Nissan dealerships all 
 across the Bay Area. So far, Concord, Walnut Creek, Oakland and San Leandro 
 have been purchased by the largest dealership group in Mexico. When they 
 bought Concord Nissan, they appeared to be unaware the unionized workforce 
 they inherited would remain Union and Autocom would be required to bargain 
 a new contract. Once they discovered this truth, Autocom, with the help of 
 Nissan Corporation, pushed a good owner out of San Leandro Nissan and fired 
 virtually the entire Union workforce, eliminating the requirement to deal 
 with the Union there.\n\nSeventeen months later, we still have no contract 
 at Concord Nissan. The workers were promised they would keep everything 
 they had. This has not happened. Autocom will not agree to the basic 
 fundamental values of trade unionism and collective action. Just as our 
 founding fathers though collective action, threw off the yoke of a 
 tyrannical foreign power, Join us 4th of July for our “ No Technicians 
 without Representation” Rally to declare our solidarity and independence 
 from tyranny in the workplace!\n\nAutocom Nissan of Concord\n1290 Concord
