Autoworker Caravan Demonstration at the Detroit Autoshow
by Dianne Feeley
Autoworker
Caravan held two demonstrations outside of the 2013 North American Auto Show.
The opening of the annual auto show attracts national and international press
as well as media from the Detroit area. We have demonstrated for several years
as the press comes into town in order to tell the story of how workers are
faring under the supposedly revitalized industry. This year we focused on how
working conditions continue to deteriorate as the difference in wages and
benefits between workers creates disunity among workers and extra profits for
the 1%. Stiff absentee policies and the expansions of alternative work
schedules create an ever more repressive work environment.
