United Auto Workers

as you can read elsewhere in this newspaper, the United Auto Workers trade union is on strike. In its commitment to bring the principles of class unionism to the working class the ICP has joined pickets in the States of Colorado; Georgia; Missouri, Minnesota; 2 locations in Ohio; Oregon; and Texas.

On September 15th, auto workers from General Motors and Stellantis in the United Auto Workers union (UAW) went on strike. After study and analysis comrades compiled a lively leaflet applauding the 18,300 UAW workers currently on strike for taking strike action against the auto giants, reminding workers of their militant history, the importance of spreading the strike to other workplaces and sectors, stating the necessity of the International Communist Party in the fight for the emancipation of the working class, and calling for the building of a class unionist current and encouraging workers to join the Class Struggle Action Network. Comrades have been reacquainting each other and skilling up for conducting these interventions so as to show up as principled communists in shared struggle on the lines. A few months ago, a training for intervention work was made that has continued to be a tool for acquainting comrades in the US to that work. So far Party comrades and sympathizers in 9 States have attended picket lines and distributed Party and sometimes Class Struggle Action Network propaganda.
