"Transatlantic solidarity

Several delegates have gotten up to speak about the struggle to unionize bus drivers in the US who are employed by a British-based company, First Group/First Student. Now they are showing a film with British workers -- members of the Transport and General Workers Union -- expressing their solidarity. The Teamsters and SEIU have been working together very closely on this campaign, and you can find more details here: http://www.drivingupstandards.org/

It's great to see a concrete example of cross-border solidarity, or as Andy Stern says, 'workers of the world unite' (or was that Karl Marx?)."
