The syndicalist SAC union in Sweden has been campaigning for fair
wages for illegal immigrants in the last few months, resulting in
thousands of pounds in unpaid wages being paid to migrant workers.
The increasing organisation of illegal immigrants within the
syndicalist union SAC have lead to more and more blockades to force the
payment of unpaid wages, mainly from employment agencies in the
restaurant, cleaning, hotel and building industry. Millions Kronor in
unpaid wages have been have been won by the SAC. That these companies
and their customers don't want to attract attention to their
exploitation of illegal immigrants, in most cases the mere threat of a
union blockade has been enough to get the wages paid.

To the Comrades of IWW
We would like to introduce ourselves to you; we are the Freeters'* Union. We are a Tokyo-based general union, established
recently in the face of the out-of-control global situation that the neo-liberal capitalism is running rampant. As precarious workers suffering from working conditions that are becoming more and more fluid and amorphous, we are intensifying our struggles for freedom and survival.
At this moment one of our new campaigns is to organize the "Gas Station Union" to confront Kanto Toyu Co., LTD. – a Japanese member of the Shell Oil Group – that has begun to lay off an increasing number of part-time workers on the pretext of the rise of oil prices and financial instability. It is a necessity to fight gas station chain and the oil driven conglomerate which forcibly lays off its employees in order to make even bigger profits. We will continue to inform you about this campaign, so please keep an eye on our efforts.

Trabajador@s Mexican@s denuncian TLCAN, abusos laborales
por Mike Pesa
Trabajador@s Mexican@s de la Coalición por Justicia en las Maquiladoras (CJM) están de una gira co-patrocinada por los Trabajadores Industriales del Mundo (IWW). Están viajando por América del Norte, compartiendo su perspectiva de primera mano de los efectos de TLCAN y su lucha por la justicia en las fábricas y colonias populares del norte de México. La gira se centra en un día de acción el 13 de marzo en Detroit en contra del Key Safety Systems, un fabricante de partes automotrices, y sus clientes corporativos, inclusive Ford, General Motors y Hyundai. Arrancó la gira en Filadelfia el 4 de marzo y el IWW hospedó a l@s trabajador-organizadores Israel Monroy y Perla Cruz. En febrero, se le despidió ilegalmente a Cruz de la fábrica del Key Safety Systems en Valle Hermoso, México (cerca de la frontera de Texas) por organizar a un comité de trabajadores.
