BACKGROUND: With 160 plants in 17 countries, Quebecor World is the second largest printing corporation in the world. Recently, Quebecor World has raised the
workers’ insurance premiums, stopped matching their 401K, and ignored serious safety issues inside the plant.

For the last year, the workers have been trying to organize a union in order to have a voice at work to address these issues. In response, workers say that the company has conducted anti-union meetings and threatened to close the plant in order to scare and intimidate the workers in hopes they will give up their fight.

The workers are now reaching out to their community to have their voice heard and gain support in their struggle for worker justice. They have organized Kentucky’s first Workers’ Rights Board hearing with the help of the Graphic Communications International Union (GCIU) and KY Jobs With Justice in order to tell their story to and ask for support from their community. Please join with Quebecor World workers to
show that the community stands with them as they strive for better lives.
