Members of the Mexican Electrical Workers Union (SME) are vowing to fight as long as it takes to defeat the government’s heavy-handed, anti-union moves to break its independent union.
Speaking at a brown-bag luncheon last week at the AFL-CIO in Washington, D.C., Humberto Montes de Oca, SME’s interior secretary, and union Health Secretary Pipino Cuevas said workers are determined to fight the privatization. Montes said:
We are fighting for the rights of the 44,000 workers. We are using all means to resist the oppression of [the Mexican government].
