Allies Across the Border

Description

While Wall Street pundits praise the global economy, workers find their jobs more pressured and precarious.  Americans and Canadians are told that Mexicans are stealing their jobs, but workers in Mexico find themselves in dangerous plants where they are barely paid their daily bread.  This first book on Mexico’s pioneer independent labor federation, the Authentic Labor Front (the FAT), shows how activists are gaining strength in coalition with their “allies across the border”.
