Uh huh, because All Lives Matter is just soooooo controversial and mean.
And Blue Lives Matter! My GOD!
This is what you freaks have done to our country. Now it's controversial to support our police officers and our President. It's hurtful to say that all lives matter instead of just the black ones.
Liar .......
No it's and attack on American's that want to wear a hat - a Make America Great Again or Blue Livers Matter <-- you keep ignoring that bit
You make baseless accusations not grounded in any reality ... We do not talk marching orders from Trump - you imply actions where there are none
Trump is supporting his followers ... you really are clueless. aren't you or are you just obtuse just to ignore what is really happening
Oh so now ANY call for a boycott is fascist ? Do you really think these comments through before you make them ?
So Chick-Fil-A, Israel, Anti-Defamation League, Facebook,

Leaked Audio Suggests Goodyear’s Discriminatory Policies Are Even Worse Than First Reported
After a leaked slide from an employee training course at the Goodyear Topeka plant went viral, revealing a discriminatory policy that allows “Black Lives Matter” and LGBT shirts and apparel but not Blue Lives Matter or All Lives Matter, the media has been scrambling to come up with some sort of excuse for their new favorite tire company. They are especially determined to defend Goodyear now that President Trump has stepped into the fray to voice his (entirely justified) objection to a company that allows expressions of support for a radical Marxist organization but no expressions of support for law enforcement, or all lives in general.
Goodyear has issued a clarification, which, after sifting through the obfuscating jargon, is actually not a clarification at all, even less is it an apology. Here’s the full statement:
So, the slide “was not created or distributed by Goodyear corporate” and it’s “not part of a diversity training class.” That is a far cry from denying that it exists or that it accurately reflects their policy. The rest of the statement would only seem to confirm, in so many words, that employees are only permitted to voice certain approved views on certain approved issues.
Indeed, audio from the training session at the Topeka plant has been leaked to WIBW which would seem to put all doubt to rest. According to the audio, employees are instructed that they may “express their views on social justice or inequity or equity issues such as black lives matter or LGBTQ pride on their face coverings, shirts, or wristbands.” They are informed that such expression is “approved” and in accord with the “zero tolerance policy.” However, any associate who wears anything that says “all, blue, or white lives matter” will be deemed as having acted inappropriately.
New audio from the Goodyear training on their zero-tolerance policy
13 NEWS-WIBW obtained an audio recording of the presentation. The speaker referenced instances of racial graffiti in the locker room, and detailed what is and is not allowed under the company’s zero-tolerance policy.
“Some people may wish to express their views on social justice or inequity or equity issues such as black lives matter or LGBTQ pride on their face coverings, shirts or wristbands. That will be deemed approved because it applies with a zero-tolerance stance,” the speaker said during the meeting. “However if any associate wears all, blue, white lives matter shirts or face coverings, that will be not appropriate.”
The unidentified speaker says the rules were created to make a better work environment.
“The rules around now what you can wear. Let’s try and comply with these so you know everybody feels good in this factory. I want to make sure guys, think about what we do in this factory, in this factory right. We all work together to make tires that’s what we do. That’s what we get paid to do. So, let’s continue to do that and do the right thing and keep this place what it has always been, a good place to work,” the speaker said.
The speaker does not specifically mention the Donald Trump’s ‘Make America Great Again’ slogan shown on the slide, but did say political campaigns are a no-go.
“Democrat. Republican. Trump. Biden. Sanders. Whatever. That will no longer be allowed in the plant,” he listed off.

“It’s not clear who made the slide or if it is authentic; Goodyear later said only it "was not created or distributed by Goodyear corporate, nor was it part of a diversity training class."

Of Course they did .... it's called back pedaling .... lying to cover for getting caught
Explain the Leaked Audio
You'd think, as a Democrat, he'd be familiar with that aspect!
Goodyear Tires: “Black Lives Matter” Okay At Work, “Blue Lives Matter” “All Lives Matter” “MAGA” Prohibited
According to the employee who took the photo of the slide, it was presented at the Topeka plant by an area manager and says the slide came from their corporate office out of Akron, Ohio.
“If someone wants to wear a BLM shirt in here, then cool. I’m not going to get offended about it. But at the same time, if someone’s not going to be able to wear something that is politically based, even in the farthest stretch of the imagination, that’s discriminatory,” said the employee under the agreement of anonymity due to fears they could lose their job. “If we’re talking about equality, then it needs to be equality. If not, it’s discrimination.”
UPDATE
Goodyear has issued a second statement. It says the graphic was not created or distributed by Goodyear or used at a diversity training session, but does not deny the policy. It appears that Goodyear is distancing itself from whatever it is that was shown, perhaps by a third-party vendor conducting the training.
So the Employee is Lying, he made up the slide, made up the audio

Half of the tweets are from Sherrod Brown...Yeah, what a blow up.
Oh, BTW...I have friends that work at Goodyear...
Just remember polesmoker...ya'll support the workers, so when they revolt against their failed leadership, YOU support the WORKERS!!!
I'm sure that a third party vendor came in to lecture, and no one, not one Goodyear HR or management person looked over the syllabus or notes or slides before it was presented to the employees. If they didn't, they deserve everything that's coming their way.
