Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if Labor had not first existed. Labor is superior to capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.                                                                                                               Abraham Lincoln

Thanks to you, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka will deliver more than 65,000 petitions to Whirlpool Corp. management in Evansville, Ind., today. You know Whirlpool—the company that is shutting down the Evansville refrigerator plant, laying off 1,100 workers, sending jobs to Mexico, taking taxpayers’ economic recovery money—and now warning workers not to participate in today’s protest.   You don’t have to be in Evansville today to show your support for the workers, mostly IUE-CWA members, whose jobs are at stake. Take these three steps now:   1. Call Whirlpool Corp. toll free right now at 1-800-705-7083. Tell the company: Keep It Made in America and Save Our Jobs.   Here are some additional talking points for your call: Despite enjoying healthy profits and getting more than $19 million in federal economic recovery funds, Whirlpool plans to start closing its Evansville, Ind., refrigerator plant on March 26. Whirlpool will ship production of these refrigerators to Mexico, costing us 1,100 good, local, American jobs. The pain of the plant closing will be felt not just by the working families that lose jobs, but also by local businesses, congregations and community organizations. Whirlpool isn’t just abandoning its workers. It’s abandoning Evansville. 2. On Facebook? Share this story in solidarity with Evansville Whirlpool workers on Facebook.   3. On Twitter? Sign our act.ly petition to Whirlpool. Thank you for your support and I know the proud IUE-CWA workers in Evansville are truly grateful for all you have done. Marc Laitin AFL-CIO Online Mobilization Coordinator
