La Jornada: To Mexican Autoworkers
By UAW President Shawn Fain
I am an autoworker. My grandparents were autoworkers. I grew up in an autoworker town called Kokomo, Indiana.
As a young father, I got a job as an electrician at Chrysler. I joined the UAW – the United Auto Workers – and it changed my life. Through the union, I learned that no matter where you’re from, if you work for a living, the working class is your family. So today, on International Workers Day, May Day, I want to say loud and clear: Mexican autoworkers are not our enemy. You are our family.
