Arneses 2000-2001: The Workers Committee in Dialogue with Alcoa

In a city where unionization is prohibited, a group of more than 20 workers orgnized themselves to make a list of the problems their co-workers have and take it to the management office. Management recognized there were problems and started meetings to talk about them. That group is known as The Workers Committee in Dialogue with Alcoa.

Cronología del diálogo entre trabajadores y gerencia en Ciudad Acuña (Septiembre 1994-febrero 2002) (Spanish)

Paro en Alcoa (poema de Judith Rosenberg, agosto 2001)

....Este hombre es de Veracruz. Eso significa la verdad y lo verde,
la cruz y Cortéz.
Sus brazos son grandes, los exhibe
deseando poder hacer algo con ellos.
Es chimuelo,
y se le quiere.
Pronunciamos su nombre: Enio, Enio.
Él da un paso adelante
y habla como un músico que toca mientras calienta su instrumento. Más
