Abstract
Since the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between Canada, the United States and Mexico, the productivity of industrial workers in each country has increased while their real wages have fallen. Focusing on Mexico and measuring the results of NAFTA, Dale Hathaways' Allies Across the Border: Mexico's “Authentic Labor Front” and Global Solidarity explores the social ramifications of neoliberalism, its impact on workers in industrial and underdeveloped nations, and its implications for democracy and national sovereignty in poorer countries that recruit multinational firms through cheap labor and lax environmental and worker protections. Using the experiences of the Frente Autentico del Trabajo (FAT), a grassroots labor union facing powerful domestic and international opposition as it seeks to improve working conditions in Mexico, Hathaway makes the case that worker solidarity across borders offers the most viable way to achieve a more broadly shared prosperity than is being created at present.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
