For thirty years, the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America, or UE, and the Frente Auténtico de Trabajo, or FAT, have collaborated across the U.S. – Mexican border. During that time, the two unions have rung up organizing victories in Mexico City, Milwaukee and North Carolina, taking on transnational corporations such as General Electric and Honeywell. Robin Alexander is the former Director of International Affairs for UE, and author of the book “International Solidarity in Action.”
