Watering The Seeds Of Resistance
American citizens bringing GM production to a grinding halt is the only way to negotiate with scoundrels and criminals like Delphi Corporation and its Board Of Directors. Miller has generously shown us which plants to strike and which ones to occupy. Right now it’s time for everyone to follow the lead of our brothers and sisters by agitating and amplifying creative inside strategies in the auto factories with or without the approval of the Solidarity House.
The majority of the thousands of autoworkers that I have met with personally while traveling around the mid-west over the last 6 months understand that Delphi means to simply bust the union. Even more workers in the plant are waking up to this reality. Delphi is a test case that will lead to a similar attack on GM, Ford and everyone if Delphi is to succeed. This isn’t about bankruptcy, it is about trans-national corporations trying to defraud Americans, dump pensions onto taxpayers and break their organized workers.
First they came for Steel and we did nothing, then they came for the Airlines and we did nothing, and now they come for Auto. The same people, the same corporate players, the same deck of cards. This is about domestic terrorists crushing American people into poverty so that they can bring all wages around the world down in its aftermath. The market is flooded with workers of all skill. How does it feel to be a commodity just like a piece of steel?
On the streets people get robbed with guns and knives. That doesn’t even compare to corporations that rob you anywhere, at anytime, and by any means it can. If that is by using loopholes in our own laws then how easier it is for them. In a perfect capitalist world the majority are all slaves working for the few. In the dreams of the ruling class the corporations are the government. They tested it out pretty well in Germany awhile back, it was called Fascism.
Some say crippling GM would drive them into bankruptcy. These are the same people who said Delphi would not even file for bankruptcy. I say solidarity is more powerful than fear tactics. I say an injury to Delphi workers is an injury to all UAW members and all workers everywhere.
My co-worker would say, “Shut the country down, then watch the workers occupy the halls of congress. We must water the seeds of resistance.”
