Sindicatos de proteccion patronal/Company unions

Company unions are common, almost universal in the maquila industries. They are created by the companies often before a single worker is hired in a new factory, paid by the company, do the company's bidding, and prevent any legitimate union from being organized. Because the workers never know of their existence until it is convenient for the company they are also called ghost unions. A conference on how to combat company unions will be held in Tijuana on Friday April 18 at 5:30pm in the hall of the Telephone workers union (a free, democratic union).
