From the Stellantis/GM Group Coordination in the IAC: Dear colleagues, We urgently need to strengthen global labor unity and fight in a coordinated way in the face of a new wave of attacks and in view of the right-wing developments worldwide! We welcome the current upswing in international workers' solidarity! On October 17, delegations from Belgium, Germany, Italy, Canada, Portugal, Spain, Turkey and the USA came to the French automobile workers' day of action in Paris. We were there with a delegation from the IAC! It was a great fraternization with the joint singing of the “Internationale”! The following day, Italy experienced a 24-hour strike in the car industry and a demonstration in Rome by 20,000 car workers, their families and friends and many international delegations. We must use this internationalist spirit for the ever better real coordination of our struggles!
Solidarity with the Audi workforce in Brussels - Come to the big demonstration on September 16 in Brussels!
September 9, 2024: The International Automotive Workers' Coordination calls for solidarity with the struggle of the Audi workforce in Brussels. Come to the major national demonstration with Europe-wide participation of trade unions on September 16, 2024 in Brussels. The Audi Board of Management announced the plans to close the plant with unprecedented arrogance and callousness. However, the colleagues in the logistics companies and production directly affected are striking against this. The solidarity with this struggle is obvious. It is therefore exactly right that the works council, other trade unions and workforces will hold a joint demonstration in Brussels and mobilize nationwide in Belgium.
IAC Coordination Group in Germany: Fight against mass layoffs at Volkswagen
September 6, 2024: Dear colleagues, September 6, 2024 The Board of Management of Volkswagen wants to cut 30,000 jobs, close plants and is planning compulsory redundancies, a general attack by VW on the workforce, families and the VW regions. So far it has affected temporary workers and now the core workforce. The VW Group was a model of co-determination and class cooperation. The VW Board of Management is breaking agreements and openly violating this policy of class cooperation. The naked dictatorship of the monopolies is now clearly coming to surface at VW! It is not only the VW Group, but leading monopolies and the capitalist association BDI are announcing a tougher approach towards the employees and their trade union, our IG Metall.
