La Jornada: To Mexican Autoworkers
By UAW President Shawn Fain
I am an autoworker. My grandparents were autoworkers. I grew up in an autoworker town called Kokomo, Indiana.
As a young father, I got a job as an electrician at Chrysler. I joined the UAW – the United Auto Workers – and it changed my life.
