MEXICAN unions will create a new trade union federation tomorrow, the International Democratic Trade Union Confederation (CSID), to “occupy a vacuum” and help in the transformation to democracy and the defence of workers’ rights.
Led by Mexican metal and mineworkers’ union general secretary Napoleon Gomez, the CSID will bring together state federations that came out of the Confederation of Workers of Mexico (CTM), unions of the Revolutionary Confederation of Workers and Peasants (CROC), as well as independent organisations.
The founding conference will take place today with a list of organisations ready to join the new organisation.
