Action Alert: Tell Whirlpool America’s Workers Deserve a Future, Not Pink Slips
Whirlpool Corp. just announced that, effective March 9, nearly 400 more layoffs will occur at its Amana, Iowa, manufacturing facility. The IAM Union currently represents 1,300 production workers at this plant. However, more than 3,000 IAM members worked at the facility just a few years ago.
These are IAM members who build the Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag and Amana refrigerators that fill American homes. This is not a one-time setback. Less than a year ago, Whirlpool laid off approximately 250 workers at this same facility. Now the company is back with another round of pink slips and a warning that more cuts may be on the way.
Sign this petition and tell Whirlpool CEO Marc Bitzer that Iowa’s working families deserve better than broken promises and a shrinking future for their community.
