Unifor keeps Stellantis workers on the job, as contract expires and automaker permanently shutters Brampton assembly

Instead of mobilizing its 310,000 members to defend the workers at the Brampton plant the Unifor bureaucracy is appealing to the Carney government to save the Stellantis plant. The same government criminalizing workers right to strike.

The global auto industry is being restructured not the backs of the global working class. Hundreds of thousands are losing jobs from 75,000 in Germany to thousands in Mexico, USA, etc.

Defending jobs requires a rebellion against the union bureaucracy who are an appendage of the capitalist state and tasked with suppressing class struggle from collective bargaining system.

The most conscious expression of the upsurge of working-class opposition to war, dictatorship, job losses, and deteriorating living standards is the campaign for UAW president of socialist autoworker Will Lehman. Lehman advocates a rebellion of the rank and file against the bureaucracy through the building of democratically controlled rank-and-file committees to put power on the shop floor and abolish the union apparatus. He calls for the unification of workers in the US with their class brothers and sisters in Canada, Mexico, and around the world to counterpose an international strategy for workers’ power to the global onslaught on autoworkers and the entire working class by the ruling elite.

Break the isolation of the National Steel Car strike by turning to workers across North America! For workers’ unity, not bogus USW “solidarity”

A major step in this fight is securing the support of rail workers throughout the US to set aside all rail cars marked NSCX. These are the cars that Aziz makes us produce for him at the end of every contract order and leases to operators throughout the US so he can still cash in during the strike. Set NSCX cars aside to back our struggle!
