It’s tricky. American unions avoid coordinating with their American counterparts because of corruption.
Unions have a very specific set of rules to play by, and these rules are different for each country.
- nradov 4y agoHuh? There is certainly corruption in some labor unions but that doesn't prevent them from coordinating with their counterparts in other unions. Even the most corrupt unions frequently back each other up in order to maximize negotiating power versus management.
- pyuser583 4y agoI’m really sorry. I wanted to say American unions avoid coordinating with their Mexican counterparts. I was listening to an interviewer with a labor organizer on the US Mexican border who worked with new arrivals. He said the workers were used to unions from back in Mexico, but he had to spend lots of time educating folks about how things work in America. Mexican unions have a level of corruption unheard of in even the most corrupt US unions.
