Well, i was actually speaking a little symbolically there, i have no idea
what the actual feeling among steelworkers is towards Mexican immigrants,
but the unions are starting to advertise in spanish and chinese out here,
particularly down in LA.  In addition, frequently buried deep in the
bowels of the paper, you find a lot of stories about how the big unions
are now starting to push for things like rights for undocumented
immigrants.
