Matamoros strike threatens to shut down North American auto industry - World Socialist Web Site
The
strike shows that the international interconnectivity of the auto
industry is a source of profound strength for workers everywhere. While
the companies have used globalization to
facilitate the hyper-exploitation of workers all over the world, the
Matamoros strike demonstrates that workers at each center of production
have the power to disrupt the whole machine of global for-profit
production. To date, there has not been a single report in the US media
about the strike. The Mexican national media has ignored the strike with
almost equal tenacity. The ruling class—including the trade
unions—cannot afford to say one word about the strike in Matamoros
because it is terrified that workers everywhere will be inspired by its
example.
