Why we're committed to global solidarity
As 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.
