Air To Breathe is a film about a group of militant workers inside the Opel car plant in Bochum, Germany. The group was founded in 1972, initially with the help of revolutionaries from the 1968 movement.
Mehrere Hundert Mitarbeiter des Bochumer Opel Werkes I legten am 21.05.2013 für vier Stunden die Arbeit nieder, um den Werksleiter dazu zu bewegen, ihnen Klarheit über ihre Situation zu vermitteln und in ernst gemeinte Verhandlungen einzutreten. Vergeblich warteten die Opelaner auf die Werksleitung, welche sich aufgrund der anwesenden Pressefotografen nicht draußen am Haupttor zeigen wollte.
In den Reden des Betriebsrats und der Gewerkschafter wurde ein Wille zu Widerstand deutlich. Zuletzt hatte es 2004 massenhafte wilde Streiks und Protestaktionen gegeben sowie die größte Demonstration in Bochum in der Nachkriegszeit. Die Anzeichen, dass die Opelaner auch dieses Mal zu entschlossenem Widerstand bereit sind mehren sich.
Die Absage vom Fest zum 50jährigen Jubiläum hat vielen Opelanern wohl Mut gemacht. Das Fest sollte eigentlich am vergangenen Samstag stattfinden, wurde aber kurzfristig vom GM Management abgesagt. Laut einem Bericht der Rheinischen Post hatte das Management Angst vor einer Besetzung des Werkgeländes.
Fans von VFL Bochum zeigten am vergangenen Wochenende ihre Solidarität mit der Belegschaft von Opel Bochum.
Am Freitag standen die Bänder bei Opel während jeder Schicht für eine Stunde still. Die Stimmung war kämpferisch. Es war die zweite Arbeitsniederlegung seit der Ankündigung am vergangenen Montag die Bochumer Opelwerke nach 2016 zu schließen. Auf die Absage des Jubiläums-Festes, war von vielen Opelanern immer wieder zu hören: “Die haben Angst vor uns.” Bei vielen Opelanern ist der erste Schock über die Ankündigung vom Management das Werk in Bochum nach 2016 schließen zu wollen, einer enormen Wut gewichen. Auch die täglich einströmenden Solidaritätserklärungen stärken die Bochumer Opel-Belegschaft.
Betriebsratchef Rainer Einenkel sagte dem Management von GM während der Protestaktion der Frühschicht am Freitag Morgen den Kampf an: “Ihr kriegt uns nicht aus diesem Werk!” Auch nahm er das erste Mal das Wort Streik in den Mund. Es gibt immer mehr Opelaner, denen die Aktionen der IG Metall und des Betriebsrats nicht weit genug gehen, eine wilde Streikaktion wie in 2004, oder der kurze wilde Warnstreik am vergangenen Dienstag könnten jederzeit wieder ausbrechen, wenn die IG Metall und der Betriebsrat ihrer Verantwortung nicht gerecht werden.
Inzwischen gibt es einige Initiativen, die sich damit beschäftigen, wie es weiter gehen soll. Eine davon schlägt vor, aus Opel Bochum eine Genossenschaft zu machen, die Öko-Autos produzieren soll. Der Pott wird hinter der Belegschaft und den zehntausenden von Menschen die ihre Jobs verlieren könnten, stehen und dafür kämpfen, dass die Menschen nicht durch Hartz 4 & co in die Armut abrutschen. Es geht dabei nicht nur um eine Standortlogik-Debatte. Es geht darum, die Menschen aus den Händen von Konzernen wie General Motors zu befreien und eigene Perspektiven zu entwickeln.

Die Opel Konzernleitung hat die geplante Jubiläumsfeier, die am kommenden Samstag in Bochum statt finden sollte, abgesagt. Auf der Jubiläumsfeier “50 Jahre Opel in Bochum” wurden 20.000 Menschen erwartet. Die Absage wurde jetzt mit “Sicherheitsbedenken” begründet. Die Feier wurde immer deutlicher zu einer Solidaritätsaktion für die Belegschaft. Unter den Titel “Opel kneift vor Demonstranten” schreibt das Handelsblatt: “Offensichtlich befürchtete das Unternehmen, dass der Aufruf von Gewerkschaften zu einer Solidaritätskundgebung den Rahmen gesprengt hätte und zu viele Menschen auf das Werksgelände hätten strömen können.”

Einige hundert Beschäftigte der Fertig- und Endmontage legten heute Morgen bei Opel Bochum die Arbeit nieder. Damit reagierten sie auf das am Montag verkündete Aus für den Standort im Jahr 2016. Die Arbeiter der Frühschicht hatten die Aktion Basisdemokratisch miteinander abgesprochen, es ging in dem sinne um einen kurzen wilden Streik. Obwohl viele Gewerkschaftler aus der Basis involviert waren, riefen IG-Metall und Betriebsrat vor allem zu besonnenheit auf. Was dies genau zu bedeuten hat, bleibt abzuwarten.

Aus der Region regnet es unterdessen Solidaritätserklärungen. Durch den drohende verlust von bis zu 40.000 Arbeitsplätze bei zulieferer und Dienstleister von Opel haben viele im Pott erkannt dass es um da ganze geht.

Opel-Solidaritätsfest:

Solidaritätsdemo mit 20.000 Menschen in 2004 während des wilden Streiks der Opelaner in Bochum
Interim Opel-Chef Thomas Sedran verkündete heute auf der Betriebsversammlung der Bochumer Opelwerke das Ende der Autoproduktion in Bochum. Ganze 40 Sekunden hatte Sedran übrig um einer kompletten Region mitzuteilen, dass Mutterkonzern General Motors sie in die Krise katapultieren wird. Er war insgesamt 12 Minuten in dem Gebäude. Auch wenn das für die Betroffenen schon schlimm genug wäre: Es geht bei Sedrans Ankündigung nicht nur um Opel und die 3300 Mitarbeiter dort. Es geht auch um viele Zulieferbetriebe, um Dienstleister, laut des Betriebsrates geht es um 40.000 Arbeitsplätze in einer Region, in der durch die Schließung von vielen Zechen, Stahlwerken und Nokia sowieso schon viele Menschen erwerbslos sind.
Ein Opelaner während des Streiks in 2004.
Als die Zechen in Bochum und Umgebung zu sterben begannen, setzte die Stadt auf Opel, um Bergleuten eine Perspektive zu geben. In Hochzeiten beschäftigte Opel in den Stadteilen Laer und Langendreer ungefähr 20.000 Menschen. Laut derwesten.de soll die Stadt Bochum Anfang der sechziger Jahre einen dreistelligen Millionenbetrag (in D-Mark) ausgegeben haben, um Opel nach Bochum zu holen. Die Stadt hatte damals 17.500 Arbeitsplätze im Bergbau verloren und setzte auf Opel.
Mutterkonzern General Motors verwehrt Opel den Zugang zu Teilen des asiatischen Marktes. Dies hat dazu geführt, dass Opel in der Falle sitzt. Durch das Spardiktat der Troika von Merkel & co wurde und wird die Wirtschaft in u.a. Spanien, Griechenland und Italien kaputt gespart. Immer mehr Menschen in Süd-Europa haben dadurch schlichtweg kein Geld um sich neue Autos zu kaufen. Die Krise kommt damit endgültig in Deutschland an.
Dass der Konzern den Bochumer Standort ausgerechnet 2016 schliessen will, dürfte kein Zufall sein. Denn bis Ende 2016 gibt es bei Opel ein Ausschluss von Entlassungen. Der Knaller an der Sache: Erst nach dem Abschluss der seinerzeit geplanten “Personalreduzierungen” sollte der Ausschluss von Kündigungen wirksam werden. So steht es in einem vor einigen Monaten zwischen IG Metall und Unternehmensleitung ausgehandelten Vertrag. Im Gegenzug hat die Belegschaft seit Anfang November auf eine Tariferhöhung von 4,3 Prozent verzichtet. Opel spart dadurch jährlich 176,8 Millionen Euro auf Kosten der Belegschaft von den vier Opelwerken in Deutschland.

Nach seiner 40sekündigen Mitteilung an die Belegschaft verließ Opel-Chef Thomas Sedran heute Morgen fluchtartig den RuhrCongress, ohne sich den Fragen und der Kritik der Belegschaft zu stellen. Sedran ist sich anscheinend sehr wohl bewusst, dass die Bochumer Opelbelegschaft sehr kämpferisch sein kann. Der Konzernchef hatte 40 Leibwächter mitgebracht. Auch extra Polizeikräfte waren in unmittelbarer Nähe. Beim unerwartet plötzlichen Abgang von Thomas Sedran und seinen beiden Vorstandskollegen kam es im Bochumer Veranstaltungsort RuhrCongress zu einem Zwischenfall. Ein Vertrauensmann der IG Metall forderte Sedran hinter der Bühne zum Bleiben auf und wurde von zwei Sicherheitsleuten von Sedran zu Boden geworfen und sogar gewürgt. Er blieb aber unverletzt.
Von der Bundesregierung kam heute nicht mehr als ein heuchlerisches Bedauern, Geld für eine Rettung würde aber nicht fließen, hieß es aus Berlin. Mal wieder zeigt der deutsche Staat, dass das Retten von Banken wichtiger ist als das Wohlergehen und die Existenzen von Menschen. Wir brauchen dringend Alternativen zur bisherigen kapitalistischen Wirtschaftspolitik, die werden wir uns selbst erkämpfen müssen.
Heute Mittag machten IG Metall und Betriebsrat auf einer Pressekonferenz deutlich, dass sie alles versuchen werden, um die Schliessungspläne von Opel zu kippen. Nun müsse geprüft werden, wie sehr sich die Belegschaft auf die Solidarität der anderen Standorte, der Politik und der Menschen in der Region verlasse könne.
In der gleiche Pressekonferenz wurde deutlich, dass der Betriebsrat und die Gewerkschaften jetzt überlegen, welche Maßnahmen Opel so sehr weh tun, dass die Konzernleitung noch einmal über ihre Entscheidung nachdenkt. Streiks wurden nicht ausgeschlossen. Auch erklärte der Betriebsrat, dass Opel die 50-Jahr-Feier des Werkes am nächsten Samstag nicht absagen könne. Hierzu gäbe es tarifliche Vereinbarungen. Das Fest am kommenden Samstag soll nun ein Zeichen der Solidarität mit der Belegschaft werden. Kommt zahlreich!

The war in Ukraine, the Covid-19 pandemic, devastation of the environment and climate disaster, all of these things are the product of capitalism.

Unless capitalism is destroyed it […]

Although we have many reasons to be against prisons and against this prison expansion project in particular, our motivations are profoundly anti-capitalist, since prison is an important part of how capitalism functions. However, we understand that not everyone will share this motivation, even if we have a shared goal of keeping this prison expansion project […]
We take as our starting point that the world would be better without prisons. Prisons don't solve social problems, they exacerbate existing inequalities and play a crucial role in a violent capitalist system. The lie told about prisons is that by disappearing people who have been convicted of criminalized activities, our communities will be "safer". […]
Prison is being restructured across the province, and at this time the process is focused on northern and eastern Ontario.

Interviewed by Mya Walmsley The steady revival of organized Anarchism in the anglosphere has led to a re-engagement with the fundamental strategic questions of Anarchism.

What role does the revolutionary organization play in the revolutionary process? In grappling […]
