Solidarity Appeal From Mexican Workers

Workers at a garment factory in Mexico, just over the border from the United States, who are producing goods for such companies as Levis and Tommy Hillfiger, recently attempted to form an independent trade union and negotiate with their employer. The employer reacted by sacking five of the union’s leaders, then fifty more, and now threatens to lay off thousands. They are asking for our help. Please send off a protest message and consider making a financial contribution as well via LabourStart
