The Return of the Grinch

Corporate greed; trampling workers rights; abusing working families; the Grinch must be back in town. It's time once again to nominate the Grinch of the Year, organized annually by Jobs with Justice. The 7th Annual Grinch of the Year contest 'awards' the national figure who does the most harm to working families. Submit your nomination for this year's Grinch at the Jobs with Justice website. "Be sure to include a few sentences on why you think your nominee is deserving," says National Jobs with Justice. "We will be announcing the nominees and beginning the election soon!" Last year's Grinch award went to the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company for demanding deeper concessions from workers and retirees, using scab labor, and forcing workers out on strike for months during 2006 negotiations. Other past nominees have also included infamous figures such as Wal-Mart, Smithfield Tar Heel Chairman Joseph Luter III, Donald Rumsfeld, Verizon Wireless, and Cintas. All nominations must be submitted by this Friday, November 30.
