When the Stevenson Act was eased in 1928, lifting restrictions on the exportation of rubber seeds and planting material, Goodyear was the first to take advantage of the opportunity. The company brought in budded stumps from Sumatra to the Philippines. It was planted in the 1,020 hectares Goodyear nursery in Kabalasan, 80 miles from the port of Zamboanga.

Crucial Issues for All: By forcing this labor dispute, Goodyear is attempting to wash its hands of its health care obligation to current and future retirees. This is unprecedented. Retired workers at Goodyear, many of whom face illnesses and medical conditions directly related to their jobs, would soon be left without health care insurance coverage if Goodyear has its way. If the company gets away with this, it will be bad news for all union workers struggling to maintain a decent standard of living and for retirees. Also, the USW is fighting to keep employers like Goodyear from discarding North American production facilities in favor of low-wage overseas operations. This issue has far-reaching ramifications for all working people in North America.

Goodyear has continued to expand throughout the years. In 1969, it opened new facilities in Mandaue City, Cebu. Other several sites and operations in the Visayas and Mindanao areas soon followed that expansion. In 1979, the Philippine National Oil Corporation (PNOC) purchased a minor equity in Goodyear Philippines... forging a strong link between the company and the country. This encouraged the company to work for the benefit not only of their shareholders, but also the Philippine nation. In 1996, Goodyear continued its expansion by acquiring the manufacturing facilities of Sime Darby Philippines in Parang, Marikina.
