Stellantis announced that it would not build its Jeep Compass in Ontario, Canada, and instead would build that vehicle in Belvidere, Illinois. That means that 3,000 auto workers in Canada will now be out of the jobs they were promised.
Meanwhile 3,000 workers in the U.S. may be going back to work after Stellantis had taken away their jobs several years ago. But those jobs may not even materialize because Stellantis has given us no reason to believe any of its promises.
The leaders of the U.S. auto workers union (UAW) have been supporting some of Trump’s tariffs, claiming they will increase auto worker jobs. They celebrated the announcement by Stellantis and called it a “victory”.
But what the hell kind of “victory” is it when the corporate bosses are taking jobs away from other workers? Pitting auto workers in one country against auto workers in another country is a “victory” for the corporate bosses, not for the workers.
The capitalists want workers to fight each other over jobs. That is how you get a race to the bottom, where all workers lose.
Every worker in every country needs a job. The working class has the power to fight their own bosses for jobs. When workers are ready to make a fight, they can put forward their own leaders who know that our power comes from bringing the working class together, not dividing it.
