Contents for February, 2003
Vol. 8 No. 2
Dear Readers:
Although we usually limit ourselves to labor and related political news from Mexico, this issue has a somewhat broader focus. Because we appear to be on the brink of war, we have chosen to give extensive coverage to an international press conference which occurred last week, which was organized by US Labor Against the War...

- International Labor Statement Opposing War Against Iraq

Contents for March, 2003
Vol. 8 No. 3
Dear Readers:
Normally we dedicate our March issue to women, in celebration of international women's day. However, because of the war we have decided to handle this issue a bit differently. Our first articles have to do with Mexico's decision about how to vote on the resolution which was before the UN Security Council, and include a short report from the Mexico Solidarity Network, a letter from Latino Trade Union Leaders in the US protesting president Bush' attempt to strong-arm Mexico and a short excerpt from a piece by Carlos Fuentes which argues that Mexico's commercial and moral interests are not in conflict.
The second part of this issue contains articles focused on Mexican women. The final section contains two emergency alerts we just received: one on behalf of garment workers in Puebla and the other on behalf of the Duro workers.
In Solidarity,
Dan LaBotz

Dear Readers,
We regret the delay in publication this month. The workers at the university where Dan LaBotz teaches were on strike and he worked closely with other faculty and students to support them. Fortunately, the strike had a succesful conclusion, and we were able to get this issue to you!
In Solidarity,
