This week’s announcement by car maker General Motor’s Australian subsidiary Holden to cease production in 2017 is another sign of the ongoing restructuring of this industry. GM also announced further cuts in South Korea. Car companies have used the crisis of the last few years to attack workers conditions all around the world, resorting to military tactics to crush workers resistance. As this industry is one of the most globally integrated industries in the world, workers need to also organise and take actions globally to effectively counter these ongoing attacks. A demonstration will be held in Melbourne by the AMWU and the workers affected by this closure.
