As reported recently, workers in the car industry all over the world are feeling the pressure from the companies because of their desire to increase profits. This has led to factories being closed, cuts to workers wages and conditions, and strikes being defeated. A recent report from India has highlighted the inhumane working conditions that many workers are forced to endure in the globalised supply chain of the car industry (part 2 of the report). It is of major importance for workers to organise at a global level so as to defeat the ‘divide and rule’ tactics that the companies are imposing.
