Key Bank, 726 SE Morrison St |
Key Bank was approved for $2.5 billion as part of the national bailout. But instead of using the money to give relief to those hardest hit in the current economy, Key Bank is misusing their bailout money to buy other banks and underwrite Oak Harbor Freight Lines, a company that has violated workers' rights by coercing and intimidating striking workers, discriminating against minorities and women and cutting off health care for retired employees.

Rally for People’s Bail-Out Now. Only weeks after taking $25 Billion in bailout money, Bank of America is turning its back on hundreds of workers making energy efficient doors and windows in Chicago by refusing to continue credit to Republic Windows and Doors. To make matters even worse than putting 300 people out of work, Bank of America has instructed Republic to refuse to pay workers compensation they are legally entitled to, either earned vacation pay or the severance pay legally required under the WARN Act, in lieu of proper notice of plant closing. |

Come show solidarity for our Teamsters friends who work for Oak Harbor Freight Lines. They are into the 12th week of a tough strike and are protesting Oak Harbor's violations of U.S. labor laws and hostile efforts by the company to intimidate workers. Cleveland-based KeyBank is the principal banker for Oak Harbor. KeyBank is playing a crucial role in the dispute by keeping this renegade company afloat. And yet, the government is considering giving a $2.5 billion in taxpayer money to KeyBank. Join us as we inform the public and tell KeyBank to stop bank rolling union busting! |

The 25th article of the Declaration guarantees all people the right to a home regardless of the challenges they face.
