WHY: As the successful turnaround of GM and Chrysler (and Ford’s ongoing success) continue to be touted in the main stream media, the story of the continued sacrifices of the workers who are making it possible continues to be ignored. As a result, the public is left with the impression that autoworkers are sharing in the new-found prosperity, which is decidedly not the case.

Autoworkers Fight Back! Demonstrate at the 2013 North American Auto Show
via Autoworker Caravan
Demonstrate Sunday, January 13 & Monday, January 14, 1:30-3pm across from Cobo Center in Downtown Detroit at the 2013 North American Auto Show
With all the talk about the successful turnaround of the Big Three, the spotlight needs to be turned on to the deteriorating working conditions autoworkers are facing. We were forced by the White House Auto Task Force to “sacrifice” during the bailout at GM and Chrysler. Concessions were incorporated into the current contracts with the Detroit Three. These included the elimination of COLA, time-and-a half only after 40 hours, loss of break time and holidays, expansion of two-tier and at GM of break time and holidays, expansion of two-tier and at GM The pacts sent a signal to workers: don't complain, just “be happy you have a job.”
Save the union; Save Detroit; Save the planet!
