Radical Workers Spark Wildcat Actions at Chrysler Plants
Detroit AP reports a new radical labor faction, Workers Action Movement, conducted sit ins and shut three Chrysler plants in a month without union approval. WAM, linked to the Progressive Labor Party, aims to power rank and file action, challenging UAW and Chrysler over harsh working conditions and plant safety. Fraser counters that wildcat actions misrepresent workers while urging formal grievance channels.
