TORONTO, May 27, 2021 /CNW/ - Unifor National President Jerry Dias told a media conference in Mexico City today that immediate and strong action is needed to ensure free and transparent union votes for Mexican workers.
"Destroying ballots is denying them a voice. It's stealing from them their dignity. It's criminal. It's the worst form of exploitation. And it must be punished," Dias told the media conference by Zoom.
Unifor is urging the federal government to send Canadian observers to oversee a union vote at the General Motors plant in Silao, Mexico in June, after a previous contract legitimization vote was marred by corruption and alleged criminal interference by their current union.
