Goodyear scandal gets worse after leaked audio from a training meeting is released

Somehow this just got uglier

Newly released audio purported to be from a recent training meeting at Goodyear Tire and Rubber company appears to corroborate the alleged training slide that went viral earlier this week.

The company came under fire this week for its recent "zero-tolerance" policy that banned overt support for police officers or MAGA hats, but expressed approval for social justice measures such as Black Lives Matter.

In the newly released audio posted by WIBW-TV in Topeka, Kansas, an unidentified instructor can be heard telling employees that they are permitted to express their views on social justice or inequity matters on attire — but only if it's the "right" kind of social justice and inequity, such a supporting Black Lives Matter or LGBTQ issues.

"Some people may wish to express their views on social justice or inequity or equity issues such as black lives matter or LGBTQ pride on their face coverings, shirts or wristbands," the instructor can be heard telling employees. "That will be deemed approved because it applies with a zero-tolerance stance."

Bye bye goodyear, I hope your business drops of to nothing. Then you can close and shove that big blimp straight up your ass. I'll never buy goodyear tires again. If it is against company policy to wear MAGA apparel it only makes sense for blm apparel to be unacceptable also, unless of course the company has a political agenda. Small independent goodyear dealers will be the first to close, if not already closed due to this bogus pandemic created to make our great President Trump look bad and lose in November. Again, bye bye goodyear. Can't wait to read about you going belly up.

Don't blame Trump, blame the Looney CEO. Forget Good-Year. Those workers can start applying elsewhere. It's gonna be a really good year at Michelin, Kumho & Yokohama.

We all remember Goodyears coverup of the G159 RV tire and all the law suits that followed..truth finally came out that they knew it would blowout at 75 mph due to the 250°F temperature it created on RV's because their own test failures proved it!!... They tried to blame the consumers after they knew! Too bad they didn't learn a lesson about the results of not coming clean on an issue!
