The International Workers Alliance of Rank-And-File Committees (IWA-RFC) calls for an independent investigation that was conducted by Rangs And-File workers-in the tragic and avoidable death of Ronald Adams Sr., a 63-year-old machine repair man, on April 7, 2025, the Stellatis' Dundee Engine complex in Southast Michigan, depressed.

There must be no further cover -up. An investigation of Stellantis, the United Auto Workers (UAW) and the state authorities is important to uncover the truth, uncover systemic security violations and prevent future deaths. Dundee workers, autokers in other plants, security experts and others with relevant knowledge must gain statements. Such an investigation by employees is crucial for the basis for the basis for the real monitoring of the security and production conditions in the factories.

According to a short note that the UAW published on April 28, Adams served a Cinetic washing machine in Department 7300, as “the overhead gantry was used, the brother Adams held between the cloakroom and the sponsor and caused fatal upper body injuries. The UAW explained that the Department of Health and Security Department of UAW and The Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Miosha) carried out an investigation.

But over a month later, Adams' family and employees received no information about the conditions that led to his death. “We were not told what happened or what caused my husband's death” AutoWork newsletter. “Outside of condolences, we didn't get anything from the UAW.”

This confidentiality violates Miosha's own guideline, according to which families must receive “timely and precise information in all phases of the investigation” in all phases of the investigation, as described in their Operations Operations Handbook in July 2024. Miosha has no restriction for how long it will take to publish its results, and workers and relatives are rightly alerted that washing white is in progress to protect the company and the UAW, which may scapto Adams itself.

Such a cover-up is indicated by the video of the workers' memorial day of the UAW Memorial Day on April 28th-the day on which Adams was buried. In the video, Stellantis executives and director of UAW Steeplatis department Kevin Gotinsky praised their “joint efforts” for a secure job and accused accidents for “unsafe acts” of employees. A Stellantis manager even warned: “An abbreviation can save you a moment, but it could lead to a lifespan of consequences.” This is nothing less than a defamation against Adams and his colleagues.

Ronald Adams was an experienced craftsman and security lawyer who is known as the “protector of the system”. He had worked in Dundee for 19 years and earned a UAW journeyman card in a mechanical repair and spent 16 years earlier as an aircraft mechanic at Northwest/Delta Airlines. “My husband knew the security better than the head of security in the system,” said Shanaia. His colleagues, she said, “are all outraged by what happened, how it happened and what unsafe conditions they have to work. They are angry about how often they have written a machine and nothing has been done about it.”

America's industrial slaughterhouse

Only an investigation by the employees – that of the interference of companies and the UAW bureaucracy – can reveal the truth and blame those responsible. Otherwise, the car systems remain industrial killing fields.

Ronald Adam's death is not an isolated incident. On August 21, 2024, Antonio Gaston, a 53-year-old father of four children, was put down in the Toledo Jeep complex. Stellantis was later quoted for “serious” security violations -namely lack of lack of machine protection -but the fine of 16,131 US dollars. The case remains open 10 months later.
