Goodyear employees along with state representatives will be hosting a Rally for Good Jobs Thursday in response to President Trump’s call to boycott the company's tires.Goodyear workers will be joined by representatives Tim Ryan, Tavia Galonski and Emilia Sykes and labor union workers, according to a release from Rep. Ryan. The rally comes after the president took to Twitter Wednesday morning, urging people to not purchase tires from the Akron-based company for banning political attire in the workplace.“They announced a BAN ON MAGA HATS. Get better tires for far less! (This is what the Radical Left Democrats do. Two can play the same game, and we have to start playing it now!” the president tweeted.The tweet comes in response to a now-viral photo, which allegedly was shown during a diversity training, claiming slogans “Blue Lives Matter” and “All Lives Matter” attire were not acceptable in the workplace, as well as “MAGA Attire” and other “political affiliated slogans or material.”“Black Lives Matter” is acceptable, as seen in the photo, as well as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender pride themes.A statement from Goodyear was released in the aftermath of the president’s tweet, saying that the image was not distributed by its corporate office, nor was it part of a diversity training class.“To be clear on our longstanding corporate policy, Goodyear has zero tolerance for any forms of harassment or discrimination,” the statement reads in part. “To enable a work environment free of those, we ask that associates refrain from workplace expressions in support of political campaigning for any candidate or political party, as well as similar forms of advocacy that fall outside the scope of racial justice and equity issues.”When addressing claims that the company is anti-police, the company addressed that as well.“Goodyear has always wholeheartedly supported both equality and law enforcement and will continue to do so. These are not mutually exclusive. We have heard from some of you that believe Goodyear is anti-police after reacting to the visual. Nothing could be further from the truth, and we have the upmost appreciation for the vital work police do on behalf of our shared communities. This can’t be said strongly enough.”The City of Akron is also standing with the company, saying “Goodyear has believed in this community for generations, investing in the power, tenacity and honest people of the heartland, which is more than we can say for this president. #WeStandWithGoodyear.”U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, also spoke out on the president’s comments, saying in part, “It’s absolutely despicable that the president would call for a boycott of an American company, based in Akron, that employs thousands of U.S. workers.”Trump's Goodyear tweet is not the first time he's called for boycotts and firings of people and a wide variety of products and entities.The rally is set to take place at 11 a.m. at the Steelworkers Local 2 building in Akron.
