Even Labor Unions Can Gain from Free Trade By Tamara Kay, YaleGlobal
While NAFTA did not generate relationships among all North American unions, its effects on many unions were profound. Even the AFL-CIO - dubbed the AFL-CIA by progressive Mexican unionists during the Cold War - began to work with independent Mexican unions when its Mexican counterpart, the Congress of Mexican Workers, refused to oppose NAFTA. As one AFL-CIO official explained, "De facto in this process, solidarity links have been built and strengthened. And there's no question that due to this struggle over NAFTA, we have more working relations with the Mexican labor movement and with the Canadians with regard to Mexico than ever before."------------------------------------------- posted 6:49 AM :: reference link ::
