From the Freep:
The United Auto Workers union looks to increase its labor power by supporting the efforts of autoworkers in Mexico to unionize and negotiate higher wages and improved working conditions.
The union announced Friday that its UAW International Executive Board voted earlier in the week to establish a new solidarity project. The project will provide resources to Mexican autoworkers and independent unions in Mexico. The union said it wants to strengthen cross-border solidarity between U.S. and Mexican workers. A UAW spokesman did not provide further details on the exact resources the UAW will provide.
