<br />
A social movement strong enough to force change. This
statement could describe the aim of the Occupy Wall Street movement,
but it refers to the struggle of Mexican miners in Cananea,
Sonora and electrical workers who have years of experience. Leaders from these struggles
will open the 8th U.S./Cuba/Mexico/Latin America Labor
Conference on Dec. 2 in Tijuana, Mexico. <br />
<br />
National Miners Union Section 65 Secretary-General Sergio
Tolano Lizarraga and Mexican Electrical Workers (SME)
Humberto Montes de Oca will be joined by representatives
from the Cuban Workers Central Union (CTC), the World
Federation of Trade Unions - Americas Region, the Central
Workers Union of Brasil (CTB), Workers Interunion Plenary
and National Workers Convention of Uruguay (PIT-CNT), and more.
Exchanges with U.S. “occupy” participants and
recognition for completion of the three-day Workers School
that precedes the Tijuana Conference are also planned.<br />
<br />
Reflecting a renewed effort to free the Cuban Five unjustly
held in U.S. prisons for more than 13 years, <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW1y-781qCDYWNdAY4D-rpLvSxeNmhvlV7Ep3hhgb9DDYcEyZUbidjcvN63_E_zvNZwJo8idRaCV6GHQ9IbrJgYFfbcgzeHwUPSWJXS_hMqJ4kDMJqomc3ZhysfApnVQjXlrs4GwG-eg/s1600/5Card+logo.gif" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW1y-781qCDYWNdAY4D-rpLvSxeNmhvlV7Ep3hhgb9DDYcEyZUbidjcvN63_E_zvNZwJo8idRaCV6GHQ9IbrJgYFfbcgzeHwUPSWJXS_hMqJ4kDMJqomc3ZhysfApnVQjXlrs4GwG-eg/s1600/5Card+logo.gif" /></a>the Conference
solidarity evening is moved to Saturday, Dec. 3. A musical
tribute to the Cuban Five by young Tijuana Opera singers and the
new video “Will the real terrorist please stand
up?” aim to inspire increased union action on this
important campaign.<br />
