25,000 unionized factory workers at 48 different assembly plants in Mexico went on strike in order to protest low wages. The workers achieved a 20% wage increase, and a $1,685 bonus. As a result of the workers’ demonstration, the strike has spread to other unions. However, there has been backlash in Mexico as companies have been firing and blacklisting union leaders.
