This article was originally published in Workers World in 2012. Since then, job-destroying technology is even more advanced and the eventual switch to electric vehicles could eliminate thousands of union jobs in auto. Millions are unemployed since the pandemic hit, and there is no plan or comprehensive assistance from the state to get people back to work during or after this disaster. Only worker organizing will create fairer hours, decent pay, safe working conditions and a job or adequate income for all.
