On April 7, 2025, Ronald Adams Sr., a 63-year-old skilled tradesman and life-long resident of the Bagley Community in Detroit, was killed at the Stellantis Dundee Engine Plant in a horrific industrial incident. Three months later, no one has been held accountable. Stellantis remains silent. The United Auto Workers (UAW) bureaucracy has said virtually nothing. The Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) investigation is still “open,” and workers remain in the dark.
But Adams’ death is not an isolated tragedy. It is the outcome of decades of corporate cost-cutting, UAW collaboration with management, and a production-at-all-costs regime that endangers workers every day. Adams’ life and death matter—not just to his family and coworkers, but to every worker who demands the right to a safe and dignified job.
The International Workers Alliance of Rank-and-File Committees has launched an investigation into the death of this respected skilled tradesman, husband, father, and grandfather. This meeting will present the facts uncovered so far. We call on all workers—autoworkers, educators, health care workers, and others—to attend, hear what has been revealed, and come forward with any additional information.
Only by uncovering the real causes of this tragedy can rank-and-file workers take the steps necessary to end the sacrifice of lives to corporate profit.
Your donations will help us organize this event and others like it, mobilizing workers, students, and youth to stand against imperialist war, capitalist exploitation, and fascist dictatorship.
Why donate?
Your donation, no matter the amount, can make a significant impact.

The Socialist Equality Party and the World Socialist Web Site support the call by the International Workers Alliance of Rank-and-File Committees (IWA-RFC) for an independent investigation—led by rank-and-file workers—into the entirely preventable death of Ronald Adams Sr.
Family gathered Sunday to hold a Father’s Day memorial for the 63-year-old Stellantis worker who was tragically killed at the Dundee Engine Complex in Michigan on April 7.
The role of the joint union management safety committee is to cover up responsibility for unsafe conditions and make sure no one is held accountable.
At a time when workers can only defend their right to workplace safety by building an international movement to take control over working conditions from transnational corporations and nationalist unions and governments, the expressions of solidarity and appeals from workers south of the US-Mexico border takes on crucial importance.
