Abstract

The article discusses the campaign of the United Auto Workers (UAW) in Canton, Mississippi, aiming to plot the unionization of the employees who work in the local plant of Japanese automaker Nissan and have not had a wage raise since 2006. Topics involve comments from UAW’s president Bob King, solidarity of international union leaders with Canton's workers, and the “Mississippi Student Justice Alliance”, founded by students at the neighboring historically black colleges.
