With UAW moving to impose sellout, autoworkers must come to the defense of the Volvo Trucks strike!
With the United Auto Workers moving to bully 3,000 Volvo Trucks workers at the New River Valley plant in Dublin, Virginia into a sellout deal, it is urgent that autoworkers in Detroit and around the country come to the defense of these courageous workers and their month-long strike.
Volvo workers are in a battle not only with the Swedish multinational, but with the UAW. The new agreement, which UAW President Ray Curry claims contains “substantial gains,” is another concessionary contract, with wages that do not keep pace with inflation, a six-year wage progression for new hires, sharp increases in health care costs and attacks on pension benefits.
