MEXICO CITY, Sept. 3, 2017 /CNW/ - On Labour Day, Unifor National President Jerry Dias will open the Conference of the National Union of Mine, Metal, Steel and Similar Workers of the Mexican Republic, known as "Los Mineros".
"Los Mineros is a leader in the fight for the rights of Mexican workers, but its President is forced to live in exile in Canada," said Dias. "Unifor is calling on the Mexican government to publicly state that Napoleón Gómez Urrutia can return to home with a guarantee of his safety, and to end the attack on freedom of association."
Dias is in Mexico with Unifor Quebec Director Renaud Gagné to provide advice to the Canadian NAFTA negotiation team. Dias will address the 500 delegates at the Los Mineros' annual conference on September 4, 2017 in Mexico City.
