NAFTA FROM BELOW: Maquiladora Workers Speak Out on the Impact of Free Trade in Mexico

Join MonkeyWrench Books and the Coalition for Justice in the Maquiladoras at A Presentation in Solidarity with the Key Safety Systems’ Workers struggle.

Key Safety Systems is a leading global producer of airbags and other auto safety systems, which has sent its production to maquiladoras such as Valle Hermoso, Mexico, just south of Brownsville, Texas, in search of cheap workers. Two workers organizing at KSS’s Valle Hermoso plant, Perla Cruz and Israel Monroy, will speak on the human costs of NAFTA-style free trade. CJM coordinator Martha Ojeda, a former maquila worker and veteran organizer, will also be present.
