About the latest issue of Mexican Labor News & Analysis:SPECIAL ALERT: In what appears to be a breakthrough, the SME has lifted its hunger strike based on the government's commitment to engage in negotiations. The union sat down for the first time on Monday, July 26. On July 27 there was an assembly which resulted in a plan to send a caravan to Cananea in solidarity with the third anniversary of that strike on Friday, July 30. |

Why we're committed to global solidarityAs globalization draws the world closer together, workers' rights, wages and working conditions are downsized. Global wages are spiraling downward towards the lowest common denominator — countries where workers make as little as a few dollars a day. Starting from a longstanding commitment to international solidarity, UE believes that more than ever, unions must act and think globally. But a real commitment means more than just resolutions and meetings. It requires rank and file action. The United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America (UE) is committed to building a new type of international relations, focused on international solidarity and based on rank and file involvement. We have built relationships with labor organizations in a variety of countries and we have joined the ICEM, an international labor organization which links unions in various industries on a global basis. And UE made labor history with our pioneering Strategic Organizing Alliance with the Authentic Labor Front, the Frente Autentico del Trabajo (FAT) in Mexico. |
