Hundreds of Workers in Juarez Mexico Fired by US Company for Asking for $7...a day

by Nomad


Start giving Mexicans workers a living wage and the first thing you know there won't be an immigration problem at all.
"Hundreds of workers at the Lexmark plant in Juarez have been fired after they walked off the job last week, asking for raises, the right to unionize as well as other demands.
According to the Spanish-language website sinembargo, the labor dispute started back in early November, after workers asked for a raise of six pesos, or roughly .34 cents a day.
Lexmark, an international company producing printer cartridges, now pays workers a maximum of 70.10 pesos per day, or $4.03 daily."

Meanwhile corporations are telling American workers that increases in wages are impossible if the US is going to be competitive with other nations. 
Pretty crafty game, isn't it?
