IUE-CWA Local 84704 workers in Bucyrus, OH are fighting to keep 80 jobs and their plant’s LED light bulb line from being offshored. These IUE-CWA members work at GE-Savant Lighting, where they make LED light bulbs exclusively for Walmart. This facility is one of the only residential lighting facilities left in the United States and we are working hard to keep it from shutting down. Because Walmart has the power to demand that these bulbs remain Made in America, we are bringing the fight to Walmart and need your help!
