Uruguayan Mittal steelworkers put ashore ---- The workers of the company Cinter belonging 
to ArcelorMittal Uruguay have been successful end of April against the Indian capitalist, 
after several weeks of fighting and occupation of their business. The strike was in

sector. This victory shows that the class struggle is international, the employee-es 
around the world have the same enemies, and that France and Uruguay, the fight can pay.
