The new wage lifts two-thirds of the workforce above Mexico’s family #povertyline, & above Mexico’s #minimumwage of about $1.71 per hour. A proposed nationwide shift to a 40-hour workweek without a reduction in pay (Mexico’s workweek is currently capped at 48 hours) would also mark a significant advance.

Labor Notes · Unmoved by Tariff Threats, Mexican GM Workers Win a Double-Digit Wage HikeMexican General Motors workers in the Silao, Guanajuato, factory complex clinched record raises after staring down company scaremongering about tariff threats. “They said, well, we’re offering 6 percent,” said Norma Leticia Cabrera Vasquez about management’s offer at bargaining. “We knew they were going to show up with that, but we said, ‘We still have weeks to negotiate, so we won’t let that intimidate us,’” said Cabrera Vasquez, who worked at the plant for 15 years, and now serves as a leader of the union’s Women’s Department.

Three months after saying that a one-size-fits-all federal minimum wage “wouldn't work,” Trump has rolled back a key wage rule affecting federal contractors. The move cancels an executive order from then-President Joe Biden that required contractors to pay their workers at least $17.75 per hour..#MinimumWage..#Trump..

Today in Labor History March 20, 1985: The Bolivian authorities sent in the army to crush a General Strike. Workers had launched the strike in response to austerity measures by the Siles Zuazo administration. They demanded higher wages, stable food supplies, price controls and the president’s resignation. At the time, inflation was 3,400%. 10,000 miners filled the streets of La Paz each day. The General Strike lasted 16 days and spread to Santa Cruz and Chuquisaca. On March 24, the miners accepted a government offer to quadruple the minimum wage. They eventually forced Zuazo to resign.

The #legal battle has national repercussions as the number of #ICE detainees…rises to its highest level in 5 yrs. The vast majority are held in #private facilities run by #GEOGroup or corporate competitors like #CoreCivic. If following state #MinimumWage becomes the norm, #Trump’s #immigration crackdown could cost the country even more than it otherwise would—unless private detention centers absorb the cost themselves or…cut back on cleaning, which…detainees…already accused GEO of doing.
