At a GM plant in Silao in 2019, five workers were fired for refusing to work overtime in solidarity with striking GM workers in the U.S. “I saw that the UAW, auto workers in the U.S., are in la lucha (the struggle) right now,” said one of the laid-off worker-activists from VU. “Their struggle is for the whole world: the U.S., Mexico, Canada, and other countries.”

    Goodyear Mexico workers, who voted to join La Liga this summer, rallied on September 19 in front of GM’s headquarters in Mexico City in support of the ongoing UAW strike. “If transnational corporations make multimillion dollar profits, workers deserve strong union contracts … and we think that these corporations should provide a wage increase in every country they operate.”

    I found this to be one of the most intriguing parts.
