Silvestre Rodriguez is a member of the executive
committee of the independent union at the Han Young maquiladora.
Workers at Han Young have been fighting to organize an independent
union since June, 1997. The graffiti behind him says "freedom
of union association." Over it, supporters of the company union
at Han Young have painted "We are Priistas" (supporters
of Mexico's governing PRI party).
