DESCRIPTION:Garrett Brown\n“Striking Copper Miners in Cananea, Mexico —\nFighting 
 for Their Lives”\n\nCopper miners at the giant open-pit copper mine in 
 Cananea, Mexico, have been on strike for seven months to protect both 
 themselves and their historic union, which have been jeopardized by the 
 transnational mine operator Grupo México. The outcome of the current 
 battle of the 1,200 union workers at the historic mine, where the 1906 
 strike led to the 1910 Mexican Revolution, will have a tremendous impact on 
 workers’ rights and labor relations throughout Mexico for years to 
 come.\n\nGarrett Brown (MPH, CIH) is a graduate of the UC Berkeley School 
 of Public Health and compliance officer for Cal/OSHA’s Oakland District 
 Office. Since 1993, Brown has also been the volunteer coordinator of the 
 Maquiladora Health and Safety Support Network which provides information, 
 technical assistance and training to workers in Mexico, Central America, 
 Indonesia and China.\n\nThe report of the independent occupational health 
 team’s survey of the Cananea mine, as well as 25 photographs of the mine, 
 is posted at: www.igc.org/mhssn\n\nMonday, March 3, 4:00 pm\nCLAS
