New published June 1, 2019: DRAFT OF PROGRAM OF STRUGGLE FOR THE SECOND INTER- NATIONAL AUTOMOTIVE WORKERS CONFERENCE (IAWC) IN JOHANNESBURG / SOUTH AFRICA IN FEBRUARY 2020
The first objective of the 2nd IAWC is the realization of an effective coordination of the struggles of automotive workers. International workers unity is important to oppose the greed of the multinational corporations. The global distribution of this international program of struggle, its discussion in the run-up and its approval at the IAWC and the conducting of International Automotive Workers Conferences will serve this purpose. We work on the basis of its decisions and organizational principles. In order to achieve the goal of coordinating the automotive workers, the 2nd IAWC should specify a program of struggle, in which our vision for the future and our most important demands in the international joint struggle are precisely formulated.
