Tucson Strip Clubs: CAW targets US bank in severance protest

The CAW says Catalina Precision Products – a client of U.S.-based Comerica Bank – owes 80 workers $2.4 million in severance and vacation pay.
The autoworkers lost their jobs when Catalina shut down the Aradco and Aramco plants in Windsor in March.
The former employees have received $400,000 in severance, but the CAW contends the workers are owed more — and wants workers to receive their money before the bank does.
“We’re saying that this is an international fight back,” said Gerry Farnham, president of Local 195.
“As far as we’re concerned, these workers are being used as pawns in a game by speculators, asset strippers and liquidators.”
