There is much that we can share with our brothers and
sisters in Latin America and the Caribbean. With
globalization assaults and after the elections in the
U.S., the response is UNITY of all working people for our
needs and our right to health, education, housing, and
equality, with social and job security.
For the future, spread the word about this conference,
send a representative to build the global workers'
movement!
Cristian Cuevas, a leader of the Confederation of Chilean
Workers and president of the Confederation of Copper
Workers with whom we recently spoke, said: “We
call on class solidarity: to resurrect the spirit of past
labor struggles; to push forward the labor movement in this
21st century; to recuperate the memory of the glorious
workers from Santa Maria de Iquique in Chile and of the
workers in Chicago in the United States.”
