Vote 'no' on UAW sellout at Chrysler! Elect rank-and-file committees for contract fight!

advertisement

Auto workers should emphatically reject the total surrender by the UAW and fight for an indefinite national strike against Chrysler and its Wall Street owners, Cerberus Capital Management.

The contract gives Chrysler/Cerberus a green light to close the majority of plants and make billions by carving up the company and reselling what remains to the highest bidder.

It sanctions the destruction of virtually all of the gains won by generations of auto workers. If ratified, it will have catastrophic consequences for active, retired and future auto workers.

A political movement, independent of both corporate-controlled parties, must be built by the working class based on a fundamentally different social principle: Economic life must be organized not to serve corporate profit and private wealth, but rather the needs of working people and society as a whole.

The vast industries upon which modern society depends can no longer be the private domain of corporate executives and Wall Street speculators. The auto industry must be transformed into a public enterprise, democratically controlled by working people.
