Supporters of D’Artagnan Collier distributed more than 1,000 brochures, leaflets and notices calling on auto workers to unite with Detroit city workers and other sections of the working class to oppose the Detroit bankruptcy and the looting of city workers’ pensions. The SEP candidate used a bullhorn to explain the necessity for a socialist alternative to the two big business parties and their assault on the working class. Collier also urged workers to attend his last campaign meeting at Wayne State University this Sunday. Many workers greeted the socialist candidate and engaged in a robust discussion, with several donating generously to his campaign. Erika said, “The union is part of the company—it owns all these Chrysler stocks—how can it work for us?” Commenting on the emergency manager’s plan to gut Detroit city workers’ pensions, she said, “All they do is threaten workers. It happens in the city and it happens here.” wsws.org/en/articles/2013/08/03/chry-a03.html
