Locked-out Peterbilt Workers to Rally in Bellevue, Wash. and Nashville, Tenn.

Members of UAW Local 1832, who have been locked out of their jobs at PACCAR's Peterbilt truck factory in Madison, Tennessee for seven months, will take action during the company's annual meeting tomorrow, April 22, with rallies in Bellevue, Washington and Nashville, Tennessee.

The Bellevue rally will take place immediately preceding PACCAR's annual meeting:

   Date:                     Tuesday, April 22
   Time:                     9 a.m. (Pacific Time)
   Location:                 Meydenbauer Center,
                             11000 NE, Sixth St., in Bellevue, Washington

Local 1832 members will be joined by Seattle-area trade unionists, religious leaders and community supporters.

UAW Local 1832 President Mike Pardue and several other locked-out workers hold proxies to attend the company's annual meeting, where they plan to inform shareholders about the lockout.

Also on April 22, members of Local 1832 will rally outside the Bank of America's regional offices in Nashville, Tennessee. Bank of America is the largest institutional shareholder of PACCAR stock.

   Date:                     Tuesday, April 22
   Time:                     11:30 a.m. (Central Time)

                             414 Union Street, Nashville

Local 1832 members, joined by labor activists and religious leaders, will call on the bank to play a positive role in resolving this dispute.
