Comrades

on behalf of the shop steward s comittee of the TGWU i would like to
send you a message of support from the workers at Ellesmere Port plant.it
is clear that the words of theGME senior management that were spoken in
Brussels about fair allocation of volume with alternative product for the
Antwerp plant were clearly not genuine. Workers at ALL plants within GME
need to be aware that what is not what they always do . Good look to the
colleagues in Antwerp in your struggle for a future.

AN INJURY TO ONE IS AN INJURY ALL.

Fraternally,
John Fetherston

Dear brothers and sisters!
On behalf of russian unionists - workers of GM-AVTOVAZ Togliatti plant I strongly
support the struggle of our brothers and sisters from Antwerp GM plant
for allocation of future product which is in fact the noble fight for
decent jobs against unemployment!
We express solidarity with Antwerp workers understanding that no job
are secure today unless there is a strong working and trade union
movement to protect them!
Even though today jobs and plants move from west to the east under capital's
globalization scheme, workers in Poland, Ukraine and Russia hardly
bebefit from such migration of capital. Money saved on wages in
Europe are neither paid to the workers here nor invested into safe
modern working comditions but go straight into capitalists' pocket!
The reason is corporate greed and nothing else.
So stay firm for your rights and don't give up! United workers have
great power let the capital experience it! And remember:
We are one workers' family. What you lose - we don't get. We are not
paid your wages so we do not want your jobs! Your victory will be our
victory too! No pasaran!

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,
Mit der gemeinsamen Solidaritaet und Kraft der europaeschischen GM
Belegschaften ist es uns gelungen die Schliessung von Antwerpen zu
verhindern. Euer derzeitige Kampf um mehr Volumen und eine sichere
Zukunftsperspektive ist mehr als berechtigt und wird von allen GME
Standorten aktiv unterstuetzt. Wenn wir kraftvoll zusammenstehen werden wir
GME auch zwingen koennen Antwerpen eine Zukunft zu geben. Insbesondere die
Kolleginnen und Kollegen in Deutschland sehen auch die Verpflichtung euch
aktiv zu unterstuetzen. Am 3. Mai werden wir in ganz Europa unsere
Solidaritaet mit euch zum Ausdruck bringen und in einem machtvollen
europaeischen Solidaritaets Tag fuer mehr Volumen fuer Antwerpen kaempfen.
In Solidaritaet
Klaus Franz
