(Ed.'s Note: Members of the community turned out in support of workers at Keppel Amfels at the Port of Brownsville which is resisting unionization of its work force. The union published these photos in its Facebook page.
Prominent among them was Mario Saenz, brother of Cameron County District Attorney Luis V. Saenz and a farmworkers union supporters from the days of Cesar Chavez, Ruben Cortez, a current member of the Texas State School Board of education and candidate for the Texas Senate seat held by Eddie Lucio Jr., Jared Hockema, the chairman of the Cameron County Democratic Party, as well as Amber Medina, top photo in the center holding "proud daughter of a union worker"sign. She is a candidate for the District 37 State Rep. seat now held by Alex Dominguez.
The workers say that their struggle to unionize is based on getting better wages and working conditions and in providing critically needed assistance to workers for health benefits and safety conditions at the plant. Amfels has been the beneficiary of numerous state, county and City of Brownsville incentives through the Greater Brownsville Incentives Corporation. They say that since the worldwide corporation is the recipient of incentives funded by their tax dollars, the company should also uplift the conditions and wages of its workers.)

Scam to help elect some politicians nothing else. In reality they don't support anybody the total amount of participants were no more than 10.
Well the "community" did not turn out to support, the local Democrat politcal leeches turned out. Looking for votes no doubt.
Freaking cry babies! They knew when the got hired what their salary would be. Get an education so you can earn more money, somewhere else!
Does Mario Saenz have a freakin' job, or is he just someone's brother? smh
juan you said last time that the majority of these workers are from mexico-matamoros etc, so why do they want a union? so where else (countries) is amfels-keppel located in and what kind of pay do those workers in those other locations get paid? just wondering. BTW and while you are at it, why did Marathon Letourneu leave too?
unions = trouble
Just a bunch of Politicians running for office this coming elections, most of the Amfels workers, don't support the Union. they are working people with families that need the jobs, the greediness of the Union Leaders has no limits, all they care about is the fees workers have to pay,
