Auto Bailouts and Crisis… Public Meeting
Auto Bailouts and Crisis…
The Death of the American Dream
Auto Worker Speaks Out!
Thursday, May 14th
7:00 - Boston, MA
Encuentro Cinco
33 Harrison Avenue (5th Floor)
Hosted by Socialist Alternative
SPEAKER:
BRETT HOVEN
An assembly line auto worker at the Ford plant in St. Paul, Minnesota. Brett is a rank-and-file activist in the United Auto Workers Local 879 (Speaking in a personal capacity) and a member of Socialist Alternative.
Auto workers in the 1930s carried out massive sit-down strikes to win union recognition, better pay, benefits and conditions. Then, auto workers became a symbol of the American dream. Today, big business is carrying out attacks on working people, and the auto workers are first on the chopping block. With a union leadership that often refuses to fight, workers face colossal layoffs, cuts in pay and elimination of benefits.
Brett Hoven will be discussing his experience as an auto worker, the need to transform the labor movement and the democratic socialist alternative to the dictatorship of big business. Join us for this important meeting!
