Longbridge: Occupy Or Die!

The Phoenix of Buenaventura Durutti | 18.04.2005 11:44 | Social Struggles

Working people caught up in the Longbridge disaster have been scandalously betrayed by their bosses, their unions, and the government. There is no time to lose. Drop those leaders. Look to yourselves, and take inspiration from the industrial occupation collectives in Argentina.

Rover workers must seize the initiative now, or it will be gone forever. Working people can only achieve self respect by taking control of their own destiny. I appeal to Rover workers to visit Indymedia's Argentina website, and see what workers are doing there in very similar situations to your own. Be inspired. Link up and swap ideas. Find out how to occupy and run your own business. Take your own company decisions, collectively. Listen to capitalism's excluded voices, and people will come to you to help out with specialist skills. Change the company name to something you decide between yourselves. Push for more environmentally friendly designs, and build up a new customer base through solidarity. Find out how to run things yourselves, without bosses or governmental cheats and liars. If it can be done in Argentina, it can be done anywhere.

First things first... occupy now, and the rest will follow as a natural course!
