Your help is needed to support Alcoa workers in Piedras Negras.  This campaign has been called by the Comité Fronterizo de Obrera(o)s a grassroots movement of workers in the maquiladora plants that line the Mexico-U.S. border. Please take immediate action to show your support! Alcoa - an industry giant with more than 129,000 workers in 38 countries - is using illegal and immoral tactics to harass and intimidate nearly 17,000 workers in Piedras Negras and the nearby town of Ciudad Acuña. For over a year, Alcoa has resorted to threats, interference in union elections, video surveillance of workers inside and outside the plant, and similar tactics aimed at undermining worker organizing. The last straw came on Oct. 4, when the company fired 20 workers from two different plants, many of them rank-and-file leaders of an ongoing campaign to organize an independent union.
