Key Safety Systems’ Workers struggle.

Our lives are in the hands of the workers of Key Safety Systems; they produce the airbags and seatbelts for the cars we use every day. We repay them by supporting their struggle for their own safety in the workplace.

Let’s help each other and work together to build the real meaning of solidarity!

Dear CJM members and allies,
Perla Cruz is a Key Safety System worker from Valle Hermoso, Mexico, who was fired unjustly for trying to improve working conditions and salaries. There will be in a demonstration in front of Key Safety Systems headquarters in Sterling Heights, Michigan on March 13th at 11:30 a.m.  The protest is organized by Centro Obrero, the Interfaith Committee for Worker Justice, and people of faith from Detroit, Michigan.
CJM is asking its members at the national level to show their solidarity with Perla Cruz and KSS workers in Valle Hermoso, coordinating actions with our members and allies from Detroit, Michigan, by demonstrating the same day in front of:
