Lear struggle escalates with new dismissals

Wednesday morning, when the national day of action by Lear workers was starting and rallies and demonstrations were taking place all over the country, the company didn´t let four workers enter the factory.
Yesterday these workers were forced to sign a petition against their delegates, but they refused to sign it. Today they were dismissed, making the existing struggle even tougher.

The Company and SMATA Union leaders are supposed to be “negotiating” the reinstatement of 30 or 40 workers that belong to the bureaucratic list (Green list, which leadership is held by Pignanelli). The commisión interna (shop steward commission) and the rest of the dismissed workers are not being invited to these meetings. With this the bureaucratic leadership and the company are pretending to be willing to negotiate, while the management continue to attacks its workers.

The workers that are fighting will decide in an assembly Thursday 17th a new series of actions against these new attacks.

The New Hollywood McCarthyism Emerging Around Palestine

Over the past week, a new Hollywood McCarthyism has emerged: multiple people in Hollywood have jobs and representation over their support of Palestine. We must denounce and fight these attacks which weaken the movement and scare supporters into silence.

The UAW International union has joined calls for a ceasefire and is exploring how to divest from Israel. This is a step which should inspire union activists to take up the fight to bring their union into the fight against Israel's attack on Gaza and the struggle against imperialism.
