Labor Digest

• Good unions stories from Mexico
• Workers Occupy and take the factory to the ultimate place we want
• To go on strike is to occupy the factory with the flags of Black and Red.
• Continental Tires,  Stephen mistakenly says Cooper Tires
• The strike was for three years, and the local labor board supported it…which means the company is responsibly for the back from when the strike started.
• The Company basically gave them the factory with the hopes that they would fail
• The workers own half of the factory the other side is sales something that the workers do not have experience but want to eventually own it all.
• They did not fail, but how does the coop run?
• This is no small coop it is 1050 members, twice a year the meetings occur

• These are the stories we should be hearing from labor unions
