The Ford Action Committee in Sarrlouis has expressed solidarity with the workers of the big car companies in the US who have voted for a mass strike that could begin this week.
The following appeal was issued prior to the factory meeting held at Ford Motors in Saarlouis on 14 December.
At the factory meeting on Wednesday, the works council and IG Metall union, supported by Saarland’s Minister President Anke Rehlinger (Social Democrats, SPD), will do everything they can to seal the plant’s closure.
Our closest allies are our fellow Ford workers in Valencia, Cologne, Craiova, Istanbul, the USA, and, above all, India. The most important step in mounting a principled defence of the Saarlouis plant is to build our rank-and-file action committee.
