Ohio IUE-CWA Members Raise Funds for Japanese Red Cross

As Japan struggles to recover from last month's devastating earthquake and tsunami, IUE-CWA members at Moraine, Ohio's DMAX plant, are helping.

Local 84755 members launched a fundraising drive at the plant, which is jointly owned by Japan's Isuzu and General Motors. IUE-CWA matched the $3,000 raised, and Isuzu/GM is matching the sum, for a total of $12,000 to be sent to the Japanese Red Cross.

"We have a lot of Japanese workers at the plant, and we just felt bad and wanted to try to do something to help," said Local Treasurer Donald Daniels, a DMAX employee. "We stood out at the front door with buckets and took in donations for about a week."
