Uruguayan Mittal steelworkers put ashore ---- The workers of the company Cinter belonging
to ArcelorMittal Uruguay have been successful end of April against the Indian capitalist,
after several weeks of fighting and occupation of their business. The strike was in
response to the decision of the firm to outsource 35% of jobs. Management had also refused
to negotiate and stopped paying employee-es, which was generalized to strike the entire
sector. This victory shows that the class struggle is international, the employee-es
around the world have the same enemies, and that France and Uruguay, the fight can pay.
