Stalemate between Cooper and USW continues

The lockout of union workers at Cooper Tire & Rubber Co.'s plant in Findlay, Ohio, continues to drag on. On Saturday, Dec. 17, United Steelworkers Local 207L even held a rally outside the plant to drum up support against the lockout -- and replacement workers.

So far, the lockout has lasted three weeks. Is it possible it won't end anytime soon?

In his latest blog, Modern Tire Dealer Editor Bob Ulrich looks at the lockout and union support. He also speculates on how the company's recent purchase of a plant in Serbia might factor into the proceedings.
