IN A SIGN that things are changing for trade unions in Mexico following the election of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (Amlo) the independent Mexican mining and metalworkers’ union Los Mineros has won an important union victory at the El Boleo Mine in Santa Rosalia in the State of Baja California Sur.
This follows a long battle going back April 2016, when workers at the mine went on strike to demand the removal of a company appointed union and free elections.
The police broke the strike and a month later the company fired 130 Los Mineros supporters. The federal authorities then blocked the Los Mineros demand for an election for two years in an attempt break the union.
