Police unfolded at Ford Michigan’s Assembly west of Detroit when UAU is able to repression

On Friday, January 31, local police brought dogs to the Michigan Avenue Assembly Plant in Wayne, Michigan west of Detroit to look for both production changes, allegedly trying to cross drugs, alcohol and weapons. Police have launched widespread anger among employees who considered it a gross violation of privacy and an act of intimidation.

Until the local media reported the deployment of police at the Michigan Assembly, workers who witnessed the operation were reported on social networks that Ford stopped three employees on the spot. There was no report that illegal drugs or weapons were found on the spot.

Michigan’s police invasion of the Michigan Assembly took place for several days of UAW local officials on several Ford Plants intensified company security measures at a plant in North America. This included reports of plans for the position of plain clicks at each plant. According to a letter published by Todd Dann, the head of the plant at UAW LOCAL 862, the largest local UAW in Ford, which includes Kentucky Giant Plant in Luisville, Kentucky:

“Ford Motor has created a global safety working group that will work at every US plant. The purpose of this initiative is to ensure the safety of both employees and the company.

“The main problems they focus on include:

· Drugs and possession on a plant and parking

· Weapons at the factory

· Drinking alcohol on a plant and parking

· Illegal parking on parking

· Theft in the factory and the property of the company

“It is important to know that random check checks can be realized in the future. The company is obliged to provide a 30-day notice before the start of such measures.

“In addition, three members of the Global Global Security Group will control the site for all three changes.

“Please make sure you adhere to the company’s policy on drugs, alcohol, theft and parking.”

Scott Elliott, the head of the UAW plant on Map, made a similar position on the same day.

Both Michigan and KTP Assemblies were closed for a while in the framework of a fake strike “Rise” under the name of the UAU President Sean Fein during the 2023 contract struggle. In the end, UAW made its way through a sale agreement that did not meet any of the key requirements of employees. After the contract, mass release, General Motors and Stellantis took place in Ford, General Motors.

In particular, KTP employees are known for their militant. In 2023, KTP employees won the UAW-Ford Agreement returned. Previously, they won the national agreements supported by UAW in 2019, 2015 and 2011. Will Lehman, a socialist auto, who ran for UAW President in 2022 against Fein, gained considerable support among the factory workers.

Many questions remain unanswered. There is no reference to the creation of a global safety work group anywhere on the Ford web site or in any press release of the company or UAW International. Ford Media relations could not confirm the existence of such an initiative.

In November, UAW local head of the store 551 Alan Millander in the Chicago Ford Assembly published a report that the plant had anxiety at the plant “increasing the breaks of cars, theft, accidents and other incidents.” He said he met with the management and insisted that they solved the issue.

He added: “In response to my complaints about membership, Ford responded not only to increased security measures at the Chicago Assembly, but many other factories in the Ford system.”

It is unknown whether this initiative is related to the notification of the installation of a special Ford global security group and plans for posting safety under factories.

Despite the fact that illegal drugs, alcohol and weapons do not have business in the workplace, many employees have expressed the sentiment that these issues, the manifestations of the social crisis created by capitalism, were only a reason for what means a flashy intimidation. In addition, employees believed that UAW would consult in this violation of their rights.

It is difficult to believe that the placement of safety under the cover at each plant with the consent of the UAW is nothing more than an effort to intimidate employees. Chicago Assembly, Kentucky Truck and Michigan Assembly are plants where the World Web Sent Autoworker’s ballot Well -known and has a wide reading audience. Security response occurs in the conditions of establishing attacks on the social rights of the working class, including mass deportation of employees -immigrants.

Reports on the raid quickly traveled to the mouth and social media. From the noon shift at his flagship plant, the dearborn truck, which produces the most popular F-150 pickups, the employee reported that he saw a suspicious van near the plant building on Thursday night. “As for the safety and safety of plants,” he said, “they must focus on getting out of the highest and team leaders who pursue women before they are worried about marijuana.” The post on Instagram had 458 likes during this writing.

The worker in the Dirborn truck told The World Socialist Web Sate“Someone shared a message about Facebook only last Tuesday. And then, Bam! That’s it. The search is already going on. It is difficult to make all the works because I have heard things coming from different plants, a warning that something will happen.

“They can’t just do it without a warrant and probable reason. This is a violation of our rights. They can’t just do casual searches. And the union helped them do it. “

A dearborn truck worker summed up his colleagues when he commented: “(UAW FAIN President) who supports Trump’s trade war is the biggest problem we have. Inflation.

He continued: “I just thought about the ways we could actually achieve solidarity between all workers, be it factory workers or table workers.”

The location of the Ford of Security in the factories mention the most violent and ugly episodes from the history of the company. This included violent attacks on the workers who carried out at the request of the company founder and the Nazi sympathizer Henry Ford and his textbook Harry Bennett, the head of the internal security agency at the Rouge Rouge Ford Rouge plant from the 1920s to 1945 during the battle in 1937. In 1932, Bennette led the opposition to Ford unemployed workers. Five workers were killed by Ford Security and local police.

The obvious conspiracy UAW in the repression of Ford security emphasizes the role of the allied apparatus as executors for management. Both UAW and Management are afraid of rebellious rank in the conditions of setting up work attacks, standard of living and democratic rights.

The more unbearable conditions faced by workers are overwhelming, wage stagnation, overload and dangerous conditions – restore the development of independent movement by rank and submission of both management and UAW apparatus, which performs the functions of the company contractors within the factories. This means the expansion of the International Alliance of Line Committees (IWA-RFC).

Protection of democratic rights at the plant is a prerequisite for successful combating jobs and dangerous working conditions. This should be combined with the opposition to targeting immigrant workers, which is used as signs for the destruction of the democratic rights of the entire working class by eliminating basic protection, such as birth.
