How to fight a union sellout - Experience from German auto, with Jens from IG Metall and Comrade Steffen
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Mansa is joined by Jens from Autoarbeiter für eine kämpfende IG Metall (Autoworkers for a fighting IG Metall) and Steffen from Spartakist-Arbeiterpartei Deutschlands to discuss the attacks raining down on workers in the auto industry. As Germany's economy continues to reel from being cut-off from cheap Russian energy and increasing competition from China, the German auto bosses are seeking to cut their losses on the backs of autoworkers. Jens discusses what he and his co-workers have been doing to bring pressure to bear on the IG Metall, the largest union in auto, to fight against the massacre of jobs.
- Jetzt erst recht: Unterschreibt unsere Petition an die IG Metall! (now more than ever: Sign our petition to IG Metall!)
- Das Massaker an Industriearbeitsplatzen muss aufhoren! Stoppen wir es jetzt! Auch in Marienfelde! (The massacre of industrial jobs must stop! Let's stop it now! Including in Marienfelde!)
