Don't Buy Goodyear Tires

Goodyear have already explained. It was a managers intrepretation.

Link?

Everything I’ve seen from Goodyear did not and would not deny this as being accurate.

The letter says, “we have a longstanding corporate policy that asks associates to refrain from workplace expressions in support of any political candidate or party”. They attempted to make this about support of law enforcement because that’s where a lot of their business for tires comes from. This is about the endorsement of BLM and if you notice, no where in that letter was it addressed.

Um…the thing that was being addressed is that the manager said expressions of support in apparel like “Blue Lives Matter” was acceptable even though the slide said it was not.

And this is what the right wingers who made sure this video circulated wide so the next level of outrage could be reached were complaining about.

It wasn’t about “endorsement of BLM”. It was people complaining “How come support for BLM is allowed but support for things like Blue Lives Matter is not?”

Why would Goodyear deny the session happened as shown by the video? It happened.

Goodyear’s clarification was simple. No apparel supporting particular political candidates.

Anything else is fine.

Your bias is showing that you think Goodyear ought to have said something about endorsing BLM.

I will happily refuse to do business, where and when possible, with any company that expresses support for BLM. That said, the President shouldn’t be asking me to do so.
