SUMMARY:The Resurgence of the Mexican Labour Movement: Experiences of Union Activists
DESCRIPTION:\nThe Centre for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CERLAC) and the Global Labour Research Centre (GLRC) at York University present:\nThe Resurgence of the Mexican Labour Movement: Experiences of Union Activists\nThursday, April 27, 2023\n2:00 - 4:00 pm ET\nRoom 519, Kaneff Tower, York University\nRegister here\nOver the past year, thousands of workers in factories across Mexico producing goods for multinational corporations from GM to 3M, have joined or formed independent unions, displacing the old pro-employer “protection contract” unions. These struggles have emerged in the context of important changes to Mexican labour law and mechanisms in the new CUSMA/T-MEC/USMCA that penalize corporations which violate workers’ rights to unionize. While fighting to raise wages and improve working conditions, these organizers are also striving to build unions with gender equity, and eliminate violence, harassment and discrimination from the workplace.\nFeaturing:\n\nJulia Quiñonez: Comite Fronterizo de Obrer@s (Border Workers Committee)\nRosalba Calva Flores: Frente Autentico del Trabajo (Authentic Labour Front)\nRosario Ortiz: Red de Mujeres Sindicalistas (Women's Trade Union Network)\nAldo Morales: Sindicato de los Mineros (Miners' Union)\nModerated by Paul Bocking (Mexico Labour Solidarity Project Coordinator)\n\nThis seminar is organized by the Canada-Mexico Labour Solidarity Project, the Canadian Labour Congress, Centre International de Solidarité Ouvrière of Quebec, United Steelworkers, Canadian Union of Public Employees and the Public Service Alliance of Canada.\nTranslation will be provided from Spanish to English\nLight refreshments will be provided\nFind more information on the Mexico Labour Solidarity Project here.\n
