Nearly a dozen unions joined with District 166 Machinists in support of auto technicians at Mercedes-Benz of Orlando in Orlando, FL, where seven workers were fired for demanding a fair contract.

The protest included a giant inflatable rat, an appropriate symbol for a company that has refused to bargain in good faith following a lawful NLRB election in December 2008.
