When corporate decisions made half a world away can impact jobs and investments with the speed of keystroke,
what choice do working people have but to make alliances across national boundaries? When U.S. politicians are beholden to
transnational corporations, what choice do U.S. working people have but to make common cause with workers elsewhere in the
world?
As globalization draws the world closer together, workers= rights, wages and
working conditions are downsized. Global wages are spiraling downward towards the lowest common denominator — countries where workers make
as little as a few dollars a day.
Starting from a longstanding commitment to international solidarity, UE believes that more than ever,
unions must act and think globally. A real commitment to international labor solidarity means more than just resolutions and meetings.
It requires rank-and-file action.
UE has built relationships with labor organizations in a variety of countries. We've made labor history with our
pioneering Strategic Organizing Alliance with the Authentic Labor Front, the Frente Autentico del Trabajo (FAT) in Mexico. And, we continue
to build new ways to link workers and their unions across borders. Find out about this important work at our
UE International Solidarity Website.
