Sign the petition to protest Toyota and save 50,000 California jobs
Added November 11th, 2009
Toyota Motor Corp., has announced plans to close the 25-year-old New United Motor Manufacturing Inc. (NUMMI) plant in Fremont putting the jobs of 4,500 auto workers and 50,000 supplier and support workers at 1,000 businesses throughout California at stake. While the economic crisis has affected the auto industry worldwide, Toyota has never closed a factory or laid off a single full time worker in Japan.
California is Toyota’s single biggest market in the United States by far. Californians have supported Toyota not only as consumers but also as taxpayers, financing the recent federal "cash for clunkers" program which benefited Toyota more than any other car company. Now, Toyota has launched a $1 billion marketing campaign to increase sales in California and the United States. Toyotas bought here should be made here!
