La Jornada: To Mexican Autoworkers
By UAW President Shawn Fain

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.
