About 40,000 (forty thousand) Mexican Border factory workers took to the streets to demand for higher pay.

 

The workers were promised a 20 percent raise in the new year and a bonus of $30,000 pesos, about $2000 dollars. Instead they were told they would have to wait until next year.

 

The strike comes from over 40 factories in Matamoros and workers say they will continue to strike until they get their money.
