13 NEWS has reached out to Goodyear about the slide. They did not answer questions when asked if the slide was part of a training from their main office.
“Goodyear is committed to fostering an inclusive and respectful workplace where all of our associates can do their best in a spirit of teamwork. As part of this commitment, we do allow our associates to express their support on racial injustice and other equity issues but ask that they refrain from workplace expressions, verbal or otherwise, in support of political campaigning for any candidate or political party as well as other similar forms of advocacy that fall outside the scope of equity issues.”

You might view it as censorship but it is their right to do so........regardless of how silly a business decision it may be.

"...advocacy that fall outside of the scope of racial injustice and equity issues"
So you're only allowed to talk at Goodyear about your issues, if they fit that sentence. That is their words. And their right as White17 stated.

Pretty black and white. At least you know what they stand for exactly. Make your choices. Lots of options.

It's likely fake. I tried to Snopes check it but they don't seem to have anything on it yet.

Snopes is a leftist organization. Look it up.

If true I hope it works out for them the way trashing the American male has worked for Gillette.

The largest shareholder of Goodyear is Blackrock, Inc. The CEO of Blackrock is Larry Fink. He has positioned Blackrock.........the largest money manager in the world.......to NOT invest in guns or related industry. Trying to influence banks to starve the industry of financing.

I have no indication that he has a hand in the Goodyear decision but I am also pretty sure he would agree with it

You know I wouldn't normally advocate for the president of the USA to call for a boycott of a private business, however, in today's world if you don't play dirty you get run over. The republicans having been letting the democrats use them as prostitutes for so long that its become normal practice. I'm not a fan of Trump personally, but I like how he sees things for what they are, couldn't give a rats arse about "perception", and goes for the throat! He beats them at their own game, time and time again.

I sold tractor tires and ran the tire truck. Certainly not a popular brand then. I see their stock has dropped 4% very recently. What a shame.
I had new Bridgestones put on my Silveraydo yesterday. Now if I just remember to rotate them this time................

Unless something has changes recently, I'm sad to say there are only 3 American tire companies left. Goodyear is one of them. The other 2 are cooper and interco.they both make good tires in my opinion

I agree with ole dad.

The Michelin tires I run on my RAM 2500 are made in SC.

The tires on my Jeep Wrangler are Goodyears. That's what was on it when I bought it and what I had planned to replace them with this fall. They will not be Goodyears unless this policy is changed, regardless of having to buy 5 to have a spare that matches the other 4.

Blue Lives Matter. All Lives Matter. MAGA. All have been declared racist and offensive. They don't follow the narrative of social justice or equality. I would have to assume that these would not be allowed per Goodyear's policy.

Ban an American company with a nearly 2k employees just at the head quarters. That is real progress on getting more manufacturing jobs back in the US. Stuff like that swings a swing state.
