November 23, 2025: Joint resolution of the 3rd International Automotive Workers Conference: Under Donald Trump's administration, the US is pursuing an aggressive imperialist policy under the slogan “America first.” The fascist threat is spreading rapidly in many countries around the world and has led to many right-ward and fascist governments and heightened anti-communism. Where this leads can be seen in the support given by the US and Germany to Israel in its genocide against the Palestinian people. NATO and the US and other imperialist states are the main aggressors in the world, Russia is continuing its war of aggression against Ukraine.
Call from ICOG for Anti-War Day 2025: August 10, 2025; The Rumours of War are becoming a reality as always. Will we ever learn!!! The anticipated meeting between President Vladimir Putin and President Donald Trump over the Ukraine War continues to remind us of the danger of a 3rd World War and the possibility of the use of the Nuclear Weapons in this War. The War has intensified over the recent period. This is so because in Europe, the military alliance NATO and Russia, the leading nuclear powers are at logger heads bitterly confronting each other in a War that is all about the sphere of influence and the race to accessing raw materials in the region for their imperialist ambitions and agenda. This is an Imperialist War!

November 11, 2024: Dear colleagues, The worldwide development of ongoing environmental destruction is alarming. Global warming has caused a climate catastrophe that has already brought immeasurable suffering to millions of people. Droughts, floods and hurricanes have increased to an unprecedented extent. Thousands lost their lives, as in Africa, Asia and the USA, and many lost their entire livelihoods.

Let's use this day to actively represent our demands in the factories and take them to the streets. Let's strengthen the international unity of workers across countries and companies! Let us also focus on the vision of a world without exploitation and oppression.
(adopted at the 2nd International Automotive Workers' Conference in Vereeniging, South Africa on 22 February 2020)
We automotive workers assume responsibility for our future! After 17 years of fruitful cooperation we can say very proudly today: the time is ripe for the founding of an “International Automotive Workers' Coordination”. We need this worldwide association of workers of the automotive and supplier industry and its close ties with our families and supporters.
Automotive Workers stand up against exploitation, right-ward developments and fascism, the threat of war and environmental destruction!
