Toyota Protesters?

[4runit]

Hahaha so I went to Hacienda in Dublin today, and as I was leaving I saw a small group of protesters outside of the new Toyota dealer. What a joke! Anyone else seen these guys here or around your area? Shoulda done this in the t4r:roadkill:

Nope not yet just some law suits over hear. I went to the dealer to pick up a few parts and it was fairly empty. the drive in for car service was a venza and a tundra other than that looked like business as usual.

Toyota Protests


Just more proof that quite a few people have way too much time on their hands.

Saw some picketers at my local dealer earlier this week.
I didn't take it all in but seemed like they were protesting the loss of toyota jobs in CA.

Are these people protesting over the recalls or about NUMMI shutting down?

If it's the latter, first of all it's not Toyota that shafted them. GM got bailed out and exited the joint venture in NUMMI that lead Toyota to shutting it down. Now these same employees are all over news asking people to boycott Toyota over quality issues. If I was the news reporter, I would ask them aren't some these the same Toyotas you built and touched. Sounds like poor work ethics and sabotage. I've seen protestors and petitioning at the SJ Auto Show over NUMMI.

Besides, these NUMMI folks are getting better unemployment benefits than everyone else. Talk about equality and fairness compared to the other tens of thousands who's lost their jobs in CA.

BTW, in Dublin, there's a "Toyota Drive" or something. The only 5th gen I've seen on the road in the area (probably on a test drive) and then it made a turn onto that road towards the dealership.

They had nothing better to do but make fancy banners and picket signs on a sunday morning. I think they were protesting about the "safety" of new toyotas, not the shut down of Nummi which I think is really sad also because my aunt and uncle have worked there for a very long time.

So they are protesting that Toyota is still manufacturing new vehicles?

BTW, has anyone seen the television ad campaign that Toyota has been running since the Superbowl? They are really going crazy with the amount of commercials they are running in my area.
