The International Metalworkers' Federation has released a documentary and White Paper exposing a number of human and labour rights abuses against the National Miners' and Metalworkers' Union in Mexico (SNTMMSRM).The video and report are part of the IMF's ongoing solidarity campaign in support of the miners' union.

The documentary and White Paper, titled An Injury to One, provides an inside look into the struggle and triumph of Los Mineros, the miners, and documents how the Mexican government in collusion with the country's largest mining giant, Grupo México, has broken international standards and national laws to crush the SNTMMSRM.

Over the past two years, IMF affiliates have mobilized members to denounce the actions of the Mexican Government and Grupo México and demand justice for the SNTMMSRM. The White Paper and documentary will serve to further these efforts.

An Injury to One is in English and Spanish with corresponding sub-titles. The White Paper is published in English, Spanish, German, Portuguese, and French. For more information about the IMF's work on Mexico, please visit: www.imfmetal.org/Mexico
