S7268 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD— SENATE May 23, 1995 

difficult for me to watch my friends, including my best friend, as they prepared for this 

venture with great anticipation, and again 

when they returned and shared with me their 

special memories that I was not a part of. 

Under different circumstances I would have 

been among my fellow classmates, but again, 

due to Bridgestone/Firestone’s desire for 

complete control, I was cheated out of a significant, once in a life time opportunity. 

One of Bridgestone/Firestone’s most appalling scare tactics that has personally 

touched myself and my family was the elimination of health care benefits, 90 days into 

this strike. My sister, Angie, and I are both 

insulin dependent diabetics. Consequently, it 

is of utmost importance that we have medical insurance to maintain and control this 

dreaded disease. It has been impossible for us 

to find an alternate insurance policy that 

covers our diabetes. Therefore, my parents 

have been forced to pay the enormous 

monthly premiums for the company’s Cobra 

Coverage, adding to the already overwhelming financial burdens families are facing during this work stoppage due to this 

strike. 

I have briefly touched on just a ‘‘few’’ of 

the intrusions this company has used to manipulate the lives of innocent people. But, on 

the other hand, some things I don’t think 

this heartless company counted on, is that 

I’ve also gained many things. Things that 

you can’t put a material value on. Such as, 

a new understanding of what the union is 

truly about, the importance of solidarity, 

the significance of the support that we’ve received from fellow unions and citizens. The 

outpouring of generosity so many different 

individuals have extended has been astounding. Even though Bridgestone/Firestone has 

taken away our paycheck and temporarily 

left us financially strapped; they’ll NEVER 

take away our dignity! 

Thank you.∑
