Autocores in Detroit and Toledo, Ohio, have expressed their support for the ranking investigation by the Death State Ronald Adams, Sr., initiated by the International Workers Alliance of Rang and Date Committees (IWA-RFC).

The 63-year-old Machine Repairman was a highly qualified and respected worker who was known to defend himself to the administration of the security of his employees. Adams, a beloved member of his Detroit community, is survived by his wife Shanaia Stewart Adams and her mixed family of 10 children and 11 grandchildren.

According to the first reports, Adams carried out a cinetic washing machine in the 7300 maintenance department when an overhead gantry was in the maintenance between the Gantry and the sponsor and caused fatal injuries to his upper body.

In the five weeks since the accident, Stellantis, the United Auto Workers Union and the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Miosha) have not made the family of Adams, employees or the public available who have information about the causes of the incident or the associated circumstances.

The IWA-RFC opposes the official cover-up and tries to sweep Adam's death under the carpet. It organizes an investigation regardless of Stellantis, the UAW apparatus and the state authorities to uncover the truth, uncover systemic security violations and prevent future tragedies.

“Ronnie's family has the right to an independent examination,” said a GM worker from the Detroit area. “Everything should be documented and published. A worker is killed and the story has disappeared the next day. The union leaders do not keep these stories alive. They are part of the problem.

“Ronnie's death was initially a big story and we talked about it at our security meeting,” the worker continued. “But nothing since then. There are many more workers who die in these plants – we just never hear about it. The companies have a motto:” Nobody ever dies in these plants. “A man could have his brain on the wall, and they will still say that he had a heartbeat and was in the hospital.
