Uber & Lyft recruited established unions to act AGAINST independent drivers efforts. SEIU & Machinists are linked to the Independent Drivers Guild (IDG), a so-called “union” funded by Uber, created to undermine real organizing. labornotes.org/blogs/2016/08/… (7/11)

This union-busting is strategic and well-funded. Uber and Lyft have poured hundreds of millions into sabotaging genuine driver organizing with “fake unions” and deceptive ballot initiatives. (8/11)

It’s much more than that. Mexico produces all healthcare equipment + covers so much of auto industry and high cost manufacturing for the U.S. Absolutely EVERYTHING will be the most expensive

Well, mask is fully off I guess. Workers are people on both sides of the border, Shawn. They are not pawns. And the faith of US and Mexican autoworkers is deeply intertwined.

The biggest drug lord in history, Pablo Escobar, founder of Colombia's Medellín Cartel, worked with the CIA. His son wrote in detail about his dad's work for the CIA. CIA pilot Barry Seal trafficked Escobar's cocaine to fund the CIA's fascist Contra death squads in Nicaragua.

Never forget that basically all gun violence in Mexico is committed with US weapons, which were illegally sold or smuggled in. The US arms industry makes a killing. In some cases the US government trafficks guns in -- see: Operation Fast and Furious. newsweek.com/nearly-all-mex…
