"There have been several excellent reports and videos created by a number of groups recently that examine Grupo Mexico's behavior over the course of many years, and the USW has gathered those documents into one place," said Terry Bonds, USW Director of District 12. "USW members working for ASARCO in Texas and Arizona are familiar with Grupo Mexico's record; we feel the public should be as well."
