Migrant Factory Workers Try to Unionize Minnesota Plant by Madeleine Baran, The NewStandard, NY
While unions like the United Farm Workers of America have had successes organizing agricultural migrant workers, Spanish-speaking migrant factory workers remain mostly without union representation. The Trabajadores Unidos del Norte (UTN), or United Workers of the North, hopes to change that reality, demanding health insurance, better pay, and other improvements in working conditions. If they succeed, organizers say they want to slowly build a mass movement to unionize migrant factory workers across Minnesota and the entire nation.------------------------------------------- posted 12:58 PM :: reference link ::
